Default Crashing EVERYTIME I load

Okay guys... I cannot stop crashing during zoneouts. I'm running windows 10 currently and have NEVER had this issue on my PC. Any thoughts?

I used to crash often, then set my compatibility mode to WIN 8. Don't ever crash anymore. I use WIN 10, but do not know what version U R using.

For sure, so I use the Everquest batch file. When I click properties there is no compatibility tab.

No no... Go find your EQGame.exe. Then right click to bring up options. (Compatibility mode is found on a tab).
I know people say set it to WIN XP, but I found that doesn't eliminate the problem like WIN 8 does.
Give it a try.
