<p>I was able to get this working with out reinstalling the OS. I went to the ATI site and downloaded 7.2 drivers located in the "Previous Catalyst drivers" section, here is a link:</p><p><a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonxprevious-xp.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/...revious-xp.html</a></p><p>I did not have to use any special uninstall utility I just went to the control panel, I am adding some direction for those who don't know how to do this.</p><ul><li>1. Download and save 7.2 drivers on your desktop: <a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonxprevious-xp.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/...revious-xp.html</a></li><li>2. Now go to Start>Control Panel</li><li>3. A new window will open, Double click Add and remove programs</li><li>4. A new window will appear, find ATI drivers and or ATI catalyst uninstaller, something close to that. Just uninstall anything having to do with your video card. Note: when I say anything I don't mean games etc...</li><li>5. Now that you have uninstalled your video drivers, windows will ask you to reboot, do so.</li><li>6. Now Double click the 7.2 drivers located on your desktop, restart when asked.</li><li>7. Upon reboot start game and enjoy.</li></ul><p>Side note:</p><p>If you have an ATI card I believe down revving your driver will fix the Unrecoverable error issue. I have not tried all drivers, I have 7.2 working. I have tested 8.2, 7.10 and these did not work. I have also tried reinstalling the OS, using the DirectX provide by the eq2 RoK CD, using the 7.10 as well as testing the drivers from windows update. I have done quite a bit of testing with no luck. My system is currently using the latest DirectX and 7.2 Catalyst drivers. I know that I have repeated my self; I just want to be clear. If you find a more recent driver that works please post it. Its funny I have been working on this system for my son and his system is now playing eq2 better then my vista64, 4 gig, 8800, striped monster machine, Now to fix it!!</p>
