Boxing issue/need help with multiple dir install
I've been reading forums for about 5 hours straight trying to get some answers and I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.
First and foremost, I guess i need help installing a second copy of EQ in a different directory. It really seems like this should be a simple task, but once I've installed the program, no matter what I've tried each time I mount the CD image I get the maintenance/remove screen. This is about the only thing I haven't been successful with on trying.
The exact problem I'm having is I can run EQ 1 boxed just fine, when I open a second session I can get to the server select screen, but it craps out when i try and go into a server. I've Tri-boxed on live from this comp, so i know its not a memory/specs issue. Some of the different way's I've tried it I get a bad image error. I've also seen a UI error.
As far as what I have tried, I've reinstalled this thing a dozen times or more, and its possible I'll have to strangle the next person that tells me to try and reinstall it. I've tried making a copy of the EQ dir and dumping in both my primary drive, and I've also tried dumping a copy of the EQ dir on my external drive, I can run either one of them solo, but not both at once. I've tried EQ windows/playnice with out luck.
I've explored the AMD fixes, but it appears to only be an issue with the duel core, and simply running XP/64 bit/3700+AMD/1GB ram. I realize thats not great, but I know it should be more than enough to get 2 boxes up with everything turned down to nothing in options.
Any thoughts?
