possible fault with eq windows latest version

[Bordael]

I saved the new eqhost file then loaded up eqwindows 2.35a
and connect to to the eqemu login which returned a list of peoples server

I then decided to patch EQ using the EQEMU patcher to avoid the connection error.

this updated the following files :-

credits.txt
eqfecfg.cfg
eqgame.exe
eqgfx_dx8.dll
eqhost.txt

After the patch had completed I launched eqwindows like I did before but this time it opened the EULA splash screen
in full window and part of my desk top was flashing in the background expecially when i moved the mouse.

I clicked on the accept button and the full screen window minmized to a smaller windows producing a black screen.

any ideas , come on someone must know this ??


pls

p.s is there anyway of launching EQ without using eqwindows and ignoring the patching ?
