EQ2 client stops working.

[Mattax]

<p>Hi all.</p><p>I'm running Vista on a 6 month old machine and have had minor problems all the way (No probs with my old XP machine). I crashed out of EQ2 while zoning out of a TS instance last night, which caused major problems with my whole system.</p><p>My e-mail was crashing, my anti-virus would not scan my messenger service was constantly connecting and disconnecting. After running a system restore and having to re-install my anti-virus I thought things were OK.</p><p>But, when I try to log into EQ everything seems to be OK, the zone for the character loads to 90+ %, and then I get the vista popup " EQ2 Login client has stopped working" followed by the usual generic guff.</p><p>Will I have to do a complete wipe (of EQ) to correct the corrupted file, or can anyone recommend a slightly less painfull solution to try.</p><p>Many thanks in Advance</p>

<p>Well, I've been getting that same message since I've reinstalled the game.  Finally, I dug this up and it's fine now:</p><p>"Download CFF Explorer: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ntcore.com/Files/ExplorerSuite.exe" target="_blank">http://ntcore.com/Files/ExplorerSuite.exe</a></p><p>Don't worry, no adware spyware etc.</p><p>Once CFF Explorer is installed, launch it and go to your EverQuest2.exe in your game folder.</p><p>On the left pane, go to Nt Headers then to File Header under that.</p><p>On the characteristics line in the right pane, click the pink "click here".</p><p>Checkmark "App can handle > 2GB Addressest"</p><p>Save the file and tell it to overwrite the current EverQuest2.exe</p><p>You're done."</p>
