Then its your computer. First what you might try, is do a clean boot. Go to start -> Run -> type msconfig and hit enter. On the window that pops up, click the tab "Startup", uncheck EVERYTHING, and click Apply. Restart computer and give it another shot, if that don't work, keep reading. Also if don't work, you can re-enable the startup items you had, same process just check the ones you want to startup and click apply and reboot.
Do a complete virus and adware scan, also do a defrag. Restart computer and try EQ again, if don't work, continue reading...
Do a new Windows install WITHOUT reformat. Boot to the Windows XP disc, and tell it to install Windows over your current installation. It will tell you that its possible you might loose your "My Documents" contents, so you might want to back them up just in case, I did not loose it though. After its done re-installing, try EQ again. If don't work, continue reading...
You need to back up your stuff, and do a complete reformat. You might have a corrupt windows file or a virus that your virus scan does not pick up. That should work, if not, I would talk to a local computer shop and ask them what you could try doing. Just tell them your loosing connection to a game, and its not the internet connection (since other computer works).
Hope you get it figured out and hope one of them steps above works.
