You cannot attach a debugger while playing Project 1999.

[Norathorr]

I am running Windows 8, I dont know if this information is helpful. Other than that I dont know what a debugger is. I tried deleting and reinstalling wineq2 but had no luck.

Most likely ya done absolutely nothing wrong !! Like myself I never added anything to my computer at all & got this error !! Hell I'm not even familiar with a debugger, what it does , or what would be considered a debugger program. However, I found out it was my AVG anti virus protection program that done it after an update!!! So if ya have AVG open it up, click on options, then scroll down to advanced settings & click on that , then click on Exceptions on the left hand side. Then click on the "add exception" button , & then use the browse button to locate your file folder for Project 1999. This took care of it for me!!! Hopefully this helps!!!

I prefer wineq because it recovers from UAC prompts, where as the native version will only show a black screen until I camp out.

If you don't install into the c:\Program Files folder then you wouldn't have to worry about UAC. Reinstall in something like c:\games or something instead.

I didn't say I had WinEQ or Project1999 installed in the ProgramFiles directory, which I do not.

If I am running the native Project 1999 everquest client and ANY UAC prompt occurs, I get stuck with a black screen in the native Project 1999 client, which forces me to camp out and log back in. If I am running WinEQ and ANY UAC prompt occurs, the game recovers and I don't have to camp out.

I don't have my installation in C:\program files or any other "default" windows directory and still have this problem. I'm not sure how accurate this quote is, or maybe I'm just a one off case.

As for this part, not a solution but a work around, if you choose not to turn off UAC (like myself) you can usually recover from the black screen by pressing Alt + Enter three times on a Windows box. This takes me to full screen (black screen still) then back to windowed and I'm no longer dealing with a black screen.

Ansar: Same here. I can run the game fine without WinEQ except for the random glitch that happens and I can't get nilbog's command to work even with the correct file paths put in the command. Which is why I highly prefer WinEQ.

As an FYI, this can be recovered by pressing alt+enter on your keyboard. This will force EQ to full screen. Alt+enter again to force EQ out of full screen and back to your original screen.

First i couldn't use eqwindows for some other reason i cant remember, now i cant use it cause its saying im running a debugger.

Looks like Lax reverted all of his changes and we are back to the wineq2 we had before. Works for me now. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
