Switching to compatibility mode without losing UI config and macros?

[Goregasmic]

So the game runs fine except when I want to switch characters it crashes 90% of the time. I tried dgvoodoo and it did nothing so now I'm trying compatibility mode winxp sp3 and it solved it.

Only problem is I lost all my UI settings, macros, friendlist, whatever. So I started redoing everything and kinda went "f this" and when I disable compatibility mode I get all my settings back.

Not sure how that works. I know all those settings are kept in 2 ini files named after your characters in the EQ folder but where are the compatibility mode settings going and why isn't it using the same files? Is there a simple fix to this?

Thank you!
