error message when loading wineq2.03

"The procedure entry point WMCreateWriter could not be loaded in the dynamic link library WMVCore.DLL."

Additionally, when using EQ1 it is very difficult to load a second instance. It looks as if the second instance keeps losing focus, making it unresponsive to the keyboard. SysInfo.txt below.

Hmmm.. your internet explorer is out of date. Update it to the latest through Windows Update and see if that makes a difference for the mouse. I'll see if I can find other possible causes

Also, the WMCreateWriter problem is from not having Windows Media Player 9 or later. I will see what I can do to make that message not appear.

Both programs that I do not use. Will update them and see if that works.

I patched just now to fix the WMCreateWriter error message, and a possible fix for the mouse.

Downloaded patch to 2.03 and no longer have the error message when loading WinEQ. Instead, I get an error from eqgame.exe when trying to load a second instance. Have not patched anything else. There is still quite a long delay between accepting the EULA and getting to the login (as compared to 2.02).

Below is the SysInfo.txt after second instance creates error.

Last patch seems to have fixed the problems.
