ok yeah that didn't work either, as soon as I tried to connect, my World.exe stopped working. It also stopped working when I tried to connect from another computer on my network.

[Skathix]

Ok well that got rid of that error, however the World.exe still stops working. It stops working (or crashes) when it recieves a connection from any computer, it stopped when I tried it from the computer it is running on, and also from a computer that it is not running on

[Skathix]

Still having this problem, please help!

I think this is possibly something windows update related.....???? I was using minilogin with version 1008 fine a month ago. I now get the crashes as well. I'm not sure at exactly what day the problem started; its been awhile since I loaded up EQ.

The last line I see in World.exe is:

[WORLD__INIT] Zone (TCP) listener started.


It crashes at that point. The next line should be:

[WORLD__INIT] Client (UDP) listener started.


It is crashing out at one or the other. I downloaded version 1052 and I am getting the same crashes. My best guess is something Windows Vista Update related, that is the only thing that has changed on my computer in the last four months. I'm gonna try and unistall some to see if it lets me, with any luck I'll find it.

Well that was quick. On 12/28 Windows Update installed a "Security Update for CAPICOM"

I uninstalled it and rebooted. Everything works fine for me now. Hopefully this will fix other's problems as well. You can uninstall this update by going to the Windows Update icon in the control panel.

Cool, I'll run that tonight Thanks A lot!

Ok so maybe that wasn't completely it. After a restart, I ran into the same problem again. At this point I started shutting down other programs.

It looks like my Logitech Webcam software that loads up in the system tray was causing the crashing. I was able to repeat the problem six times with the Logitech software loaded and unloaded with restarts. I'm pretty sure I got it right this time after the reps, but with Vista, hell ya never know.

Using msconfig, unchecking the Logitech applications in the startup tab was my choice. Right clicking and exiting the programs from the system tray works too.

Well I got it working, sorry for all those with similar problems but I will say this, if you followed the guide on the forums and it isn't working for you, go to the wiki! Here is the link, http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...kka=ws1129r222.

Another thing, if you are running this on a LAN, and you follow this guide, you have to go to all the pcs on the LAN and add your dns to the host list i.e. 192.168.0.8 eqs.starsky.net found that out the hard way, but aside from that, the guide is great!
