Is there a major difference between XP and 7? Someone else mentioned 7 was bad... Is there a way to fix that?

7 is a whole hell of a lot better than 8. I have both and both running p99 but windows 8 is a pain in the ass. Its like a phone with apps and shit. Truly horrible.
I like 7, and EQ here runs fine with it.
Only problem you will have with 7 is editing the files but once you figure out how to make admin have special permissions than its easy.

I ran it on a 486 running Windows ME at 800x600 in the sleeper cab of a semi using 28.8k dial-up in the truckstop parking lot 12 years ago.

If your computer can't run it, something is wrong.

I haven't had any issues running on multi-core Windows 7 laptops. So don't be scared!

I can play eq on a macbook from 2007 with 1 gig of ram and a 2.0 ghz processor. You can most definitely play it on yours. It may not run above 30fps but whatever, it's eq!

I am not sure what a good FPS is. I am sure the faster the better, although I have heard to an extent it no longer matters since the human eye or brain can only notice so high, but I have no idea what that is. Regardless, what was the fps for Classic EQ to begin with?

There's only one way to find out, get titanium installed and try it out. What do you have to lose? 15 minutes setting it up?

It is not quite as simple as that. The game costs money, I am assuming between $30-$60. That is expensive for a game that is not promised to work or if it does, works horribly. I know of no stores that would allow me to take an opened game back, especially a PC game with a CD Key.

And how does one go about doing that?

As far as I know, it doesn't matter....He might be talking about needing administrator privileges to patch; in that case you run the patcher by right-clicking and using the 'run as administrator' option. Or he might mean conflicting with installs of live EQ.

Put those scruples on hold and there are means of acquiring a copy for free. I'm sure SOE wouldn't grudge somebody a copy of an obsolete client.

In any case I'm sure somebody will post some instructions shortly...
