What am I doing wrong?

[ObooReturns]

I found the item on the FAQ that deals with this; but I can not take any action. let me explain. Here is what the FAQ says:

1. Help! When I try to run eq, at some point before entering the game, I get an error that looks something like this:
The instruction at 0x029110ce referenced memory at 0xfffffffc. The memory could not be read

This solution to this is actually very simple. Go to your EQ folder. Find the file eqclient.ini and open it in a text editor (i use notepad, its the simplest to use)

hit ctrl+f, type windowedwidth, you should see something like this:

WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=768
Width=1280
Height=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=768


change it to this:

WindowedWidth=800
WindowedHeight=600
Width=800
Height=600
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600

I'm using 800 x 600 here, but you may need to fiddle with that a bit. If 800 x 600 isnt working, try using your monitors native resolution instead. Eventually, you will get a combination that works, just keep trying.

My problem is that I can not find any of this at all. When I open my Everquest folder (and I did a clean titanium install, this computer has never played EQ or been connected to the "real" servers) I see lots of files. I put them in alphabetical order to browse. I see one file named "eqclient" but it does not end with ".ini" To be clear, it does not end with anyhthing at all. its just called "eqclient" and the TYPE is "configuration settings"

When I open this eqclient file, here is what I see:

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=TRUE
20PixelShaders=TRUE
14PixelShaders=TRUE
1xPixelShaders=TRUE
MultiPassLighting=FALSE
UseLitBatches=TRUE



That is all that is in there. There is nothing there about windowwidth.

I hope this helps you help me, because I really want to play this. I'm totally stuck here though, what could I be doing wrong?

You probably don't have Windows set to show file extensions. There's only one file named eqclient. It's an INI file.

When I open this eqclient file, here is what I see:

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=TRUE
20PixelShaders=TRUE
14PixelShaders=TRUE
1xPixelShaders=TRUE
MultiPassLighting=FALSE
UseLitBatches=TRUE

If you don't see those lines, then add them.
