<p>I just reinstalled everything on my comp after hard drive crash. I got a new hard drive, everything is running fine except EQ2. I run Vista. I never had a problem before. It will patch fine then it gets to the. "play" button lit up when it's done with the patch. I click play, and it gets this weird loading bar type thing in the middle of the screen, it gets about 1/4 of the way in and then I get a client crash. I have run the full file scan several times and nothing...anyone have a problem like this, or any idea what it could be?</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>I just ended up deleting the game, and re-installing through the station launcher and that worked fine. The admin stuff, and compatibility mode and service packs were all set properply, so I really have no idea what it could have been. Maybe just a bad install. Thanks for the suggestion.</p>
