Make sure the DB is sourced correctly, as most times when you get that happening, that is the problem... Will need more info to better assist...

You can get the error its giving you without it flashing by going into cmd.

cd \eqemu
world.exe

and then

cd\eqemu
boot5zones.bat

They wont disappear when you run them and you can get the error. But yes what sam said is true, it usually is a database error.

Ran the world.exe and got this...

D:\EQemu1>cd \eqemu

D:\EQemu>world.exe
