Keep crashing to desktop. I have downloaded the latest drivers and have direct x9. The only message I get is that EQ Client has crashed and would I like to send info to SoE.
When this first started I would get a Qtask(wtf is a Qtask?) has caused an error and is being shut down , but it woulld just keep popping up over and over. I don't get that message anymore, but still crash.
I am running windows 98 2nd edition.

I think QTask is Quicktime.

Here is how I have fixed it for people in the past with this problem.

In your eq directory, you will find a file called eqclient.ini

Rename that file to eqclient.ini.old

You will also see character files called, Selwen_ayonae.ini

Rename that file to selwen_ayonae.ini.old

Do a complete file check and then try to log in.

qtask is quicktime, maybe uninstall/reinstalling might help (no fucking clue why that is giving eq problems)

On a related "crashing" note...

I can run one instance of EQ fine.

25% of the time I can run two instances fine.

75% of the time I can run two instances for 3 seconds and then my computer reboots.

I'm not using EQW, just EQ loaded twice in windowed mode.

Running XP Home, Geforce4 440MX, 300watt power supply, 1gb ram, 40gb 10krpm hard drive, Direct X 9.0b and the 56.64 nvidia drivers. (When I try and load eq with the newer ones, i get some weird ass message saying Everquest recommends you use blah blah blah drivers)

Any ideas? And yes I realize my video card is the suck :D It used to work fine for 2 boxing though :eek:

I found out today that if you have a Vid card with 256k ram on it and have over 512k ram in your system, it will crash you as well and get that exact message... Just a thought.

i'd hate to see what eq would look like on a 256k video card and wow how slow with 512k of memory

Hey, 512k ought to be enough for everybody.

512k ruled for running quake

Nah, I have a Geforce3 atm. When thi started Iwent and downloaded the latest drivers just incase.

It runs fine with 512K .. not very different from when I had the 1G in it.. And the graphics are pretty amazing..

OMG .. I have been getting that same problem as of late myself crashing to desktop requesting to send info to SOE. I noticed it when I adjusted sky setting option and have posted on official EQ forum tech support about it. I noticed there has been considerable display functionality problems in options display window ... at least for me .. but have heard of others having similiar issues.

Good Call. This has been happening since the patch where they " fixed" the sky graphics.I used to play with it off, but was curious to see what they did to it. I bet thats it.
I play so sporadically that I realy didnt make the connection.

I had a similar problem. It turned out i needed more fans in my computers.
Sometime it helps to turn down your cpu speed some, until you get more ventilation... maybe its too hot in the room where you play =)

I have an AMD proccessor so yeah I could heat my house with it. This however, just started after the last ptch and I have had this comp a long time.
