i was thinking about this today while i was out and about (yes, i think about eq tech while spending time irl... what can i say, i hate a spare minute of downtime to med =P) and i had a thought.
for people having this oddly specific and seemingly unfixable error, try running a virtual machine (VM) under xp or maybe even windows 98 (0_o). There are plenty of instructions on how to set up a VM so i wont post them here (just google it) and it doesn't take long to do. If eq will run under the VM, its a software issue with windows 7 pro, if it wont, its a hardware/network issue with your computer.
Let me know if this is a viable option for you and get back to me. Im very curious to see the results.
