<p>There is no know issue with Vista 64 and windowed mode. Please email us and we will trouble shoot this problem thoroughly. If this is an issue with the game it will help us to get a profile started on this issue but as I've mentioned this is not a known issue.</p>

One thing to try, the I7 reintroduced hyperthreading (dumb idea) in the CPU design  try setting the multi-core support in EQ2 to off</p>
