SOLVED: crash to desktop when camping

[garfo]

There are a few threads floating around about this, but I thought I'd make Forumquesters proud by sharing how I actually solved this issue:

After upgrading to a SSD computer, my game began crashing every time I camped. A number of fixes pointed to right-clicking on the Everquest icon and running it in compatibility or admin mode, but that never worked.

What DID finally work was installing a custom UI to replace the default p99 UI. I tested both Duxa's and QQUI, both worked -- once I loaded the skin onto a character, camping worked without crashing. Any characters that did *not* have the new UI installed continued to crash when camping.

So, there you go! No idea why this works, but it does. Cheers!
