I think this started with the last game update, but it's possible it happened before that and I just never noticed.I often run two instances of EQ2 on my system.  I've got a dual core and two monitors, so it's been my preferred mode of two boxing.  However, lately, I get this error message when I try to run the second instance:"Everquest II has detected an unrecoverable error and must shutdown. E:liveeq2frameworkcoredevicessrcDirectX9RenderDevi ce.cpp(1097): Failed to create D3D device for NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT."Is anyone else running into this?

SO it seems your DirectX is failing or corrupt, you will want to do the following.First you will need to download your video cards newest driver.http://www.nvidia.com/Download/inde...aspx?lang=en-ushttp://ati.amd.com/support/driver.htmlas well as the newest version of DirectX9.0c from Microsofthttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...;DisplayLang=enand a driver cleaning programhttp://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745Once you have both files downloaded, you will need to reboot your PC in SAFEMODE. To Get to Safe mode you will need to restart your PC.  As soon as it turns back on, start holding down the F8 Key. You should be offered a option screen then instead of it booting into Windows right away. You will want to select SAFE MODE with NETWORKING. Windows will now load, but it will look different from what you are used to.  Install and use the Driver Cleaner program, this will totally remove any old drivers for your video card.After it is finished go ahead and install the DirectX.  After this is installed, you will need to reboot the PC, and load it into SAFEMODE again.  This time go ahead and install the Video card drivers. Once done, go ahead and reboot the PC normally and try again to start the game.If all goes well, the game will load perfectly, and you should have no errors.
