Crashing while zoning

[Calidore]

After playing for about a week I believe I have finally fixed my Zoning issue!!

I use Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I have taken the advice of many on these posts to run things in Windows XP Service Pack 2 Compatibility Mode as well as Run as Administrator. But at first I had only applied it to WinEQ2.exe (or EQEmu.exe depending on if I was checking for patches). Then yesterday I decided to try that on a couple other files as well. I knew that WinEQ2 had to start EverQuest using it's executable, so I went to the EverQuest directory and found eqgame.exe and applied the same Compatibility Mode changes to that. I also saw an EverQuest.exe, which I also made the Mode changes to.

Now I can zone multiple times and it loads every time! I tested it a bunch yesterday, and I have had NO problems today either.

I don't think that this will help everyone with their crashing, I wish it could, but maybe a couple people out there will have some luck.

By the way, this is all on my work computer, which is a Dell Precision T3500 tower. It has an Intel Xenon single core (dual with hyperthreading) processor and an nVidia Quadro 295. Not really a gaming machine, but can handle EQ.
