Dual core processors can make your client do some funky things too. There are patches out to fix that problem.

you can do a simple work-around in windows if it is a dual core TSC (time stamp counter) issue.

start everquest, then open windows task manager. right click on the eqgame.exe process, and click select affinity. choose only 1 processor to run the client on.

Was a great idea but I have a restricted access when I try to set affinity .(

Are you using XP or Vista? Are you logged in as Administrator?

You could try disabling UAC if you are running Vista. Disable UAC by running regedit and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System. Change the value of DWORD EnableLUA from 1 to 0 to disable UAC. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.

If that doesn't work for you, let me know specifically what error you get when you are denied access to "Set Affinity".

ok, hopefully this will work for you:

as the local administrator, do start -> run, and type secpol.msc [enter]

this will launch windows local security policies management console. select "Local Policies" then "User Rights Assesment" then "Debug Programs". You may need to add your local administrative account to the Debug Programs policy.

if that doesn't work for you let me know.
