possibly fixed...

went to download wineq and required directx update (which i thought i had)...

anywho, running very smoothly since i started using it. about an hour or so now.


but just in case, more info... i'm not too too computer savvy but i know a little bit.

client - titanium
os - vista 64bit
no background programs. closed all processes.
playing in window mode (obviously with 4 characters)
spell effects off on all accounts
visual settings to lowest
and no idea about my processor.

Okay, I run 4 characters.... pally,cleric,warrior,mage

I have an HP laptop.....

nvidia 9600M GT vid card
4 gigs of ram
2.5ghz processor
250g hdd


i crash, almost every single time i zone.
i cant kill mobs with 4 chars because either one EQ window will close to desktop, or everyone will stop attacking and the whole screen freezes. char can move around but nothing happens.

tried setting processor affinities but its a pain in the ass to do that every time i play, especially if i ctrl alt delete while playing because it freezes all EQ screens when the other window comes up. this doesnt seem to help anyway.

i tried running as admin and as regular, neither make any difference.


what do i do. please help me, this is SO frustrating.
