Last night when I installed the game I had it running full screen nicely. Today it defaulted to windowed mode (no big deal) but when I try to make it full screen it crashes and even messes up the gamma on my system after its gone. I HATE playing games in windowed mode. Also I'm having the same problem as a few other people: when I click certain places on the screen sometimes it minimizes the game for me. Thoughts?

Thanks!

As far as crashing when you go full screen, the only thing I can think of is to check your eqclient.ini (Should be in the root directory of your EverQuest folder, C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest or something similar) and make sure the lines for width/height do not exceed your current resolution on your computer.

For example, when I was playing on my Mac, the video section of my client.ini looked something like this:

[VideoMode]
Width=1280
Height=800
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

That exceeded the resolution on my gfs computer so when I tried playing on her computer using my eqclient.ini it kept crashing until I went in and manually changed the lines to this:

[VideoMode]
Width=1024
Height=768
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

Hope that helps.
