I have Windows 7 and EQ works just fine. Try reinstalling the game, or, if you can, reinstalling from a different source.

I do not think that this is a Windows 7 related issue but more a resolution issue. I have encountered this same error when I adjust the game resolution to high. Try to go in to the EQ folder and launch the settings app set to default and resolution 600 x 800. If that works keep increasing the resolution to what you see fit. FYI i am no computer gurue.

Good luck!

Make sure you are running as admin. Also you might need to unhide some folders that are hidden by default..
I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 or 2 other threads concerning how to get Windows7 working with EQ. It does indeed work, I just can't find the correct thread at the moment.

I would try reinstalling as well. Or at least de-fragging, and reinstalling if you still have the memory error. I run windows 7 without any issues and the memory error could be contributed to a corrupt/fragmented file when you installed.

*For both install file and the eqgame.exe* (Right-click > properties)
Run as administrator
Compatibility mode for xp

Download process explorer if you have dual core


Update if you still have issues.
