Any chance you can get rid of the autofire macro or whatever it is that's got a fake d3d9.dll in your EverQuest folder?

This problem should be fixed when I patch in a bit, but having a fake d3d9.dll is bad

[Zandi]

worked , Thx, now a new problem , when I have 2 EQ sesion open, the one that is not active ( the one that the mouse not active on) It Lags realy bad, I tried droping down the sky, clip plane, reselotion , and it still lags bad, anyway I can fix this, or u know what the heck I am doing wrong

It's not lagging, you're just misunderstanding EQPlayNice. The rendering limiting functionality stops it from drawing the WORLD, but the UI updates at full speed and the game updates at full speed (the background session is actually running FASTER than it would otherwise). If you want full motion video on the background session at the cost of performance, you can go into the WinEQ 2 preferences window, and under EQPlayNice in background change "Rendering limit" to 1. The default setting is the recommended setting for best performance, but you are welcome to change it to what you prefer. The higher the number for Rendering limit, the faster the game will be able to run in the background, with less CPU -- a huge chunk of the game's time is spent simply drawing the game world; take that out and it's super fast.
