When I try to open EQ, the window blinks black and then closes and I get an error, but EQ never even starts.
Most likely you are having a resolution or drivers issue. Try adjusting your EQ or Desktop Resolutions or updating your video drivers.

This is the shittiest/most lazy solution I've ever had to deal with in tech support.
Anyway, regardless of how much fail that is, I figured out that if I don't set my DESKTOP resolution to 640x480, the game doesn't run in fullscreen. However, my EQclient.ini has my videomode set to 3 (and I've tried 0-4, it doesn't matter), and my window options set to 1680x1050 (the resolution of my monitor). I can start the game in windowed, THEN change to fullscreen, and it works fine. When I log out, the game's settings have been changed to fullscreen, and I can't run it anymore and thus have to deal with 640x480 again until I reset everything.
Is there a proper fix for this or what? I assure you I have the latest video drivers.
