Login Problem

"Fresh restart" means just rebooting the computer.

One time when I had just logged in to EverQuest on the second time I actually got in, a "virtual memory minimum too low" pop-up came from my system tray, which just screams "low RAM".

Also, I doubt ping is a problem. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Diablo II, but when I go online to actually play that, my ping is anywhere from the range 15ms to 47ms.

Diablo II is a "walk in the park" compared to what Everquest wants for resources. If you run Everquest with all Models and everything activated, they require at least 512 meg RAM.
If you have 512 RAM, and nothing else running that sucking up your ram, you might be ok, but I'm willing to bet you are not, because you're banging your virtual memory.
Since you have to reboot to get back to normal (this is very drastic, you should never have to reboot for anything), Then you might have a Malware or Virusproblem and now you can add "or a Hardware problem" to you checklist.
If you're running Windows Vista, Longhorn or what ever it they call it now, the minimum requirements for that OS is now at least 512 meg - you''d have to compensate with more mem.
Also, it's possibe you get the virtual memory error because your hard disk is full, or you have some strange settings on it. Could even be your hard disk needs a scandisk, or has some bad sectors.
But, by all means, don't try any of this out either, just tell me you doubt this is the problem and continue posting

LOL, welcome to the EQEmu support team, now after years of people doing this do you think you will catch an attitude like mine sometimes?

Shhooot! you're more than patient! I just started, and already I'm getting frustrated. And to think, I already posted all this before.
Maybe you should increase the size to the "search" option button in the forum, to like about 50 times larger, and in red?
If I had a nickel for every person that came to my house, told me their PC was busted, windows was no good, internet sucked, etc., and then said they didn't have no crap-ware in it (because they had the "best' crap-ware remover) - well, I would have many, many nickels.
You're doing a great job and I hope you aren't going anywhere soon. If people don't realize this or not, we still need you here.

Ok I have to pipe up on this one.

I am a computer tech I hear several times a day "I can't have any spyware on my system I don't go to those kind of sites." or "I'm running XYZ anti-spyware software I can't possibly have any spyware on my system."

Well then your loss cause you do and you wouldn't believe the issues they cause until you see it happen. I say there are a few out there that are better than others but none work well alone. I use three different ones on my system and all together they only get most.

Now as for one getting connected, making a character, start playing and then getting booted, I'd say the server ran out of resources. Unless you have an unstable internet connection, OR you have a cable modem/DSL router like me and are not on the latest firmware then you have the same problems like I did.

Sorry didn't mean to rant. :o

I have 256 MB RAM and am on Windows XP. Like I said above:
