Change your resolution, set to xp compatibility. There are plenty of things to try. Did you search the forum before asking questions? Did you try anything to fix it first or you just blindly posting without doing any work yourself to fix it?

He's right that the forums is riddled with the answers to this question already... a simple search would have found it for you.... But maybe that was a little rudely put lol

Try windows compatibility mode, that fixed an error like that for me.

Nah i just dont like people who obviously didnt do their research before asking a question. This isnt Reddit.

Then why post? You contributed nothing useful. If he did something that annoyed you, ignore it and move on. This isn't RnF.

I posted his fix....To search for the problem. Because many people have fixed this problem in the past.

[jeffchapman]

when i did a search, by google and by forum search, i used the error code and nothing came up. I apologize if my lack of knowledge in searching for the correct answer annoyed anyone, and thank you to the people who constructively helped.

Did you check the sticky called " Help my P99 wont work" or something like that that is at the top of this forum?

dude probably had no success finding his answer through search because alot of the tech support posts are filled with offtopic conversations and rnf-type arguments, very few resolutions. you are the problem, man.

Thulack posted the fix. He then commented outside of that with an opinion. If you don't like his opinion, ignore it. Simple as that.

Remember everyone:

STICKY IN TECH FORUM!

No Trolling in Technical Discussion

First, last, only warning. Anyone trolling in this forum will have their forum account permanently banned.

This forum is here for people to legitimately seek help for their technical issues. If you don't have something useful or constructive to add, don't post.

I'm not very tech savvy so I didn't know what that error message meant, and so didn't know the proper terms to search for, other than entering the string of numbers and letters that were in the error message. Now that I have an idea what the problem is I've found plenty of fixes through the search.

However, none of them have fixed the problem yet, but i'll continue trying. I wont be asking for anymore help though, because I don't feel like being belittled and insulted by an obnoxious and condescending "person" because I don't have their staggering level of amazing computer skills.

Again, thank you to the ones that were actually helpful, it is very much appreciated.

I had this problem as well. For some reason when I copied the directory from my other pc via my flash drive it wouldn't work. I had to use the CD's and do a fresh install. Try using a directory like "c:\eqtitanium" instead of the default directory.

I've also had luck with deleting my eqgame.ini file and letting the game make a new one. Double check the video section and make sure all resolutions match what your monitor is currently set too.

Lastly make sure you are running as admin and try different compatibility settings.

None of this worked for me until I reinstalled from the Titanium CD's on my recent windows 10 install.
