Need to add the following:

Technical issues:

Q. My client is crashing to Desktop before it gets to character select screen!

The Options menu does not display all of the odd screen resolutions we see these days so if you need something like 1280x800 it won't appear in the list on Options. If you pick the closest one (eq 1280x960) BOOM EQ wouldn't get past server select. The solution is to get into the file \Program Files\Sony\Everquest\eqclient.ini (or whereever you installed Everquest) and modify the section that looks like this:

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=800
Width=1280
Height=800
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=800

Obviously replace 1280x800 with whatever your screen resolution is (rt click on screen, Properties, Settings, Screen Resolution slider) and you should be good to go.

While I appreciate the thoroughness, I think this would be better served as a thread/sticky in the technical forum. If I start adding technical issues/fixes to the FAQ it would explode in size and I don't want to manage that.
