While I don't think this is your problem, it can't hurt and may even help. I was running vista home premium for a while and I had to copy d3dx9_30.dll file into my eq folder. The thing is my eq would start up then give an error about this file missing. You aren't getting the error, but maybe it is still occurring and your eq is dying. I am now running windows 7 rc, and not having any issues at all.

Just a thought, hope it helps.

Looks like it fails right after it initiates your video. I see it looks like you tried changing your EQ resolution in the eqclient.ini file, but what I was referring to was trying to change your actual desktop resolution. You can also probably try setting the Windowed Mode setting in the eqclient.ini to True so it starts in Windowed mode which should let it ignore deskop resolution issues.

nothing. changed desktop resolution changed windowed mode to true. Im givin it a reinstall and gonna make sure the steps i do are all perfect. I remember when i made it work on vista i had to go into the user accounts in control panel and change something... dont remember what though.
