Got MS program no help.
The MS compatability program looks very useful indeed. It does not have Everquest listed, though. I read up a bit on it and the SP2 installed on XP is supposed to fix the old mouse errors so I cannot use the program. Again, it was a happy thought and looks to be a useful program for many of my other applications and games I play so I at least appreciate being shown the software.
p.s.: the scorch and burn install did nothing for me.
The easiest way for me to play EQ right now is to start it in windowed mode, then change to full-screen after I log in. It's just strange that the one single point that it stalls/crashes is right there at the server select screen and as long as you hold the mouse still and don't move it until AFTER the list of expansions starts to scroll down at the bottom, it's fine. It's just tricky holding it that still in full-screen mode, even if I don't hold it and somthing bumps the computer desk and so much as gives the mouse one byte of input at that screen in that first second or two at the server select screen, it crashes. <*sigh*> Maybe I should try a different kind of mouse connection like USB and see if that changes things?
I thought about changing IRQ's around in the system, just havn't been to MS to find out how to manually configure them in XP...not sure you can.
