[etch666]

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Heys, I just bought a new computer with vista and I have installed, patched eq2 so it is fully up to date.</span>My problem begins when I click PLAY, I get a black screen with the eq2 cursor for a few seconds, then an error messge: <span class="maintitle">EQ2 client application has encountered and problem and needs to close.<span style="font-size: x-small;">I have new drivers for every piece of hardware, and I have disabled all firewalls and I have disabled UAC (the administrator thing).I use a creative xtreme card but I have installed the alchemy patch that fixes that issue.I have searched this forum top to bottom and I have found posts like mine with the same problem with zero solution found which is quite worrying. Please can anyone help me out with this?</span></span>

With Vista, you need to run it as admin.....  If that doesnt work, perhaps following the suggestions listed <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> *** Read before posting ***</a> may help others see what may be wrong...

I am only getting this error on one account on a character I am trying to get to the newbie area in Timerous Deep. Left the docks you arrive at in Timorous Deep to the area with the portal and elevator and I get massive slow down and bam lock up and crash. I play my other account on same machine without a hitch with a new Sarnak still newbie area. Getting Memory error and C++ errors just on one character on another account just makes no sense. Help Post similiar issue on a post with 17 pages but cant find it now....

Not knowing anything about your machines, I will guess at a memory issue.Try typing the following into your chat box./force_low_mem_mode 1and then /force_low_mem_mode 0 to turn it off if it does not work.Feel free to post DXDIAG and MSINFO as requested at this link<a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=353617</a>
