This happened to me all the time on my bard when I would AE kite. It has also happened to me on my mage before as well but maybe only once or twice for him in his whole career. I have found a fix that works for me and has worked for about a month with many AE kites during this time.

My computer has a quad core processor. I start everquest and under the processes tab in windows task manager I change eqgame.exe to run on only 1 processor core. This is done by right clicking and choosing 'set affinity'.

When I do this I have never crashed while kiting any number of mobs, and a couple times I forgot to set it and crashed everytime.

How do you do that? Sorry computer illiterate here. Thanks.

I have been doing the safety zone technique and it has cured me of dropping to the desktop. Basically, when i first log in I make sure that i either log in an alt first and then log to my main or with my main zone atleast once before attacking anything. Do this everytime that you come in from server select and see if this cures your dropping. Works for me, I started doing this about a month ago and have not crashed to desktop once since.

1. If you are running windows hit ctrl alt delete, then click windows task manager. Or maybe windows task manager will just pop up depending on which version of windows you use.
   
2. There should be a few tabs at the top, click the Processes tab, which will then show you a large list of processes you are currently running.
   
3. Find eqgame.exe and right click on it. Choose set affinity and uncheck all but one processor. After you do this zone once in the game.

bonne chance! Si tu as plus de questions, n'hesites pas a demander!
