well i've limped back in using work arounds. matching to 60 actually caused it to crash before the mem read error spot. i read that some windows 7 machines have an actual 59 hz b/c that's better for using the monitor for streaming TV. setting of 59 was odd...i was able to pass all the errors and make it to the char select screen. but the chars were the "spells out of date, please visit project 1999" ...just to make sure i went ahead and reloaded all the junk, same outcome. so then i tried messing with other refreshes...tried 30, tried 90, some odd ones. results were a mixed bag between crashing early or getting to the out of date spells char select screen. then i took a nap. i went back to duxa and fiddled around until i got something to work. my prob with duxa was that the launcher was crashing so i was using duxa to adjust settings, then using my eqgame short cut to launch, which produced the same issue over and over...launching in full screen. well i tried launching duxa in admin mode and viola, it goes....and it also started in windowed mode...and now i'm in the game and playing. so to sum it up, the issue still exists if i launch with eqgame.exe but if i launch with duxa's eqemu launcher (in admin mode) then it goes. /boggle
thanks agains for your help yendor, and everybody. everyone's input ultimately led to the multi-fix that i have going lol.
