EQ: WinEQ won't start EQ

jacensolo · Post by **jacensolo** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 1:33 pm

Whenever I attempt to load EQ with WinEQ, I get a black box, and then it disappears. I am running Vista, with admin. I don't get any error message, and WinEQ is still running. I have tried the following things:
* With/Without MQ2
* With/Without running compatible with XPsp2 (for eqgame.exe, Everquest.exe, and WinEQ, in every combination)
* With/Without EQPlayNice
* With/Without Normalizing
* I've deleted all config files in the EQ directory except Character specific ones.
* I've reinstalled WinEQ
* I've tried with emulated fullscreen and normal presets
* I've tried with/without patcher
* I've turned off all advanced video options.

It runs fine without WinEQ, but with WinEQ, when it goes to open the game, nothing happens. The patcher will run fine, but hitting play leads to a black box, then nothing.

Here is my sysinfo:

It probably has to do with the Intel graphics chip in your laptop. Have you previously used WinEQ 2 with this computer? You may just need to grab the latest video drivers for it.

This computer worked fine with WinEQ until this morning. I'll check the drivers.

Whatever you did just recently to change it for the other errors fixed mine too, thanks.
