<p>Ok, im sorry about that let me try again ok first off ive just recently built two new computers from scratch both have quad core processor from intel geforce 7600 and 8600. Each equipped with 4 gigs of memory each I plan on upgrading to 8 gigs in the near future. Anyways im threeboxxing on each computer. But the problem was its where each game overlaps the window border glitchers threw whenever i start to lag. So if im playing one game the other game undereath where the window border is tears the graphics in half on the main game, when the graphics start to get heavy.</p>

Right click on the game icon, and choose properties.On the compatibility tab there is going to be some check boxes at the bottom that will let you turn off visual effects, like the glass effect.  Try this for both machines, and let me know if it helps.

Ok i did what you said, had a little problem finding exactly what you were talking about but under settings theres like "Disable visual themes" . I did that and the EQ2 window still has the glass effect. If that was what were trying to do here? make it so theres no glass effect on the window

ok, it looks like that option is only working in vista basic theme with aero the eq2 boxxes still look like a piece of glass and in basic it just makes them look like windows 98 or something
