30 seconds holy crap whats your computers specs? im on a couple year old machine and it most take 5 seconds for rendering.

are your video drivers up to date?

currently playing on a $150 Acer netbook haha... only 1 gig of RAM and its got Windows 7 on it.... not nearly enough ram for a Windows 7 machine

I went into EQ client ini file and adjusted the numbers on windowed mode to be the same as full screen size and that seems to have eliminated the "click through" problem and collapse down to task bar.

Thanks for suggesting that!

another oddity about my black screen issue -- it hasn't happened once on Red so far. 2 days and 10 hours /played on my Paladin.

wtf. happens within a few hours on Blue every time i play.

have you tried disabling Aero interface and going to a classic theme, this should help with freeing up resources.

Also may want to increase your alloted virtual memory value
