'Referenced Memory Error'

[Sonderbeast]

I was hoping someone here could help me with this issue.

I run the EQ emulator and after I hit 'play' a windows application error pops up which reads...

'The instruction at 0x000000000000000 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000. The memory could not be read.

Click on OK to terminate program'

This issue seems to have come up out of nowhere as I haven't changed any files in my EQ directory.

Here are a list of things I have already done to try to fix this.

1. Restarted computer.
2. Re-installed the current patch files.
3. Attempted System Restore - could not complete due to a problem with my C:/
4. Ran a diagnostic on C:/ to check for issues (good condition)
5. Removed physical ram and reinserted.
6. Attempted to adjust windowed mode resolution by adjusting window height and width to 800x600 - however I could not find the suggested file eqclient.ini anywhere, I did find eqclientwineq and eqclient which appeared to have the same setting configurations.

I'm not really sure what do to except re-install the game. If anyone has a definitive solution I would appreciate the help!
