Any suggestions?

Well that sounds like it would work, or I hope it would, but every time I do ctrl+alt+del on it and go to processes it says, "operation failed, access denied." Is there any way to bypass this, because the Prog "Set Affinity II" is worthless.

right click on the shortcut you made for eqgame.exe and click the compatability tab. check the "run this program in compatability mode for:" and choose win98 in the drop down box that becomes available. this should force EQ to only run on CPU0 (aka: your first core) as windows98 did not support multi-processor/multi-core.

it is more of a you<-> server, server<-> you thing. Just client lag on updating, for example the EZ 4exp server lags constantly you recieve this nice lag, however PEQ rarely does unless something is terribily wrong.

Running 200+ zones a world server and the sql on one box typically will cause such a headache unless it is a monster, and even then.

Note step 2 in the instructions I wrote:

2. Before logging into the login server, ATL+TAB out of the program and hit CTRL+ALT+DEL

The key word is BEFORE! If you try to change the process at any point after you log into the login server, the process is locked. As long as you set it right after you click the shortcut and the EQ window first opens, it will allow access to change the processor it runs on.

Even right after I click the shortcut to open the EQgame.exe it still wont let me change the affinity... access denied. I do appreciate all the input though guys, think I have tried it all to no avail unfortunately. Think the server is the biggest culprit of all as fault said, I was trying to play on the EZ server or what not, should have known 50 times EXP and epics at level 1 was to good to be true. A lot of fun WHEN you can play, which isn't worth the head ache. Going to try other servers and if still no luck will just stick to shooting people in the face in COD4... Thanks again all for the help.
