Difficulty keeping EQ running

[slaartibartfast]

I've been having a tough time keeping EQ running since the last windows update. After the windows update I lost all sound and had to do a complete reinstall. It worked but now windows just has a terrible time keeping it running. Takes about 4 tries to get it to load at all. Then it crashes on zoning. I spend more time getting it to run than I do playing. I think it might be in need of a good patch on the p99 end. Anyway, thanks for all the work you guys put into this game. It's very near and dear to my heart hehe.

Please disregard this post. I had not been running EQ in compatibility mode for Win XP service pack 3. I had to do a reinstall and forgot to do this. It's running 1000x better now.
