When I do not set eqgame.exe for compatibility with Windows XP2, I get random crashes logging in or zoning. When I do set it for compatibility to Windows XP2, I get a UAC popup asking if I want to run this unrecognized program?
Do you know any way to get this program recognized?

Its ok if the computer doesnt recognize it, as long as you do
You can disable UAC but Im not aware of any way to selectively allow something without a prompt

You can use task scheduler as a workaround to launch it, and then use a shortcut to launch the scheduled task on demand:

Note that this will also reset stuff like high DPI settings or whatever other customization on the exe if those have been applied, so you'll need to redo those too.
