Try doing a full scan before loading into the game, that might fix the issue.

Click "Preferences" then there is an option in that menu at the bottom to do a full scan.

Hrmm, I'm not seeing an option for a Full Scan..

Did you update your video drivers? I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers and had to roll back a version, I was crashing everytime I loaded EQ2. Also, you might want to post in the tech support forums where the tech support folks can give assistance.

If you updated your Nvidia drivers then yes, thats the problem.

Simple fix, because the new drivers are much better, with XP at least, Drag the little error window down and click back to EQ. Works for me, just don't press "Send" or "Don't Send" as that will close EQ.

I start in Window'd mode so I can do this, don't know if it's necessary.
