Zone Reuse Timer Problem.

<p>I'm going to admit that this may not appear to be the best place for this question, however, I can't even figure out how to word this question in order to get results in Google.</p><p>My wife's computer is an AMD Dual Core processor, pretty new and darn fast.  I generally play on her old computer, which is an Intel Pentium 3. something.</p><p>Generally her playing is great. It's not a crashing or zoning problem or whatnot.</p><p>What her problem has to do with (as you might guess from the title of this topic) is the zone reuse timers. Often she can't reset her timer.</p><p><em>To fix this, she can go to the other computer and log in, and reset her timers there. No problem whatsoever.</em></p><p>She also has problems with her research assistant; it says it's going to take X time to finish the book, but in the window where the books are picked, it has Y. Completely different numbers.</p><p>She thinks it's a ui problem but I can confirm it's a problem with the default ui, with random pieces from eq2interface, and with the ProfitUI installed. She admits that it's probably not a UI problem and then suggests it might be a problem with the way she logs into the game (sony launcher on the AMD one, the one where zone timers get stuck, a shortcut to everquest.exe on the older one).</p><p>Any suggestions on how to find a solution would be helpful. Whether you have a "oh install the amd dual core optimizer software" or you have a "she's [Removed for Content], make her play on the old one," I'll take it. Or even a "try googling foo"..</p><p>Thanks!</p>
