Usually, if the game closes out like that when it is starting, it is either because you don't have enough RAM left to run it (need 500-750MBs free) or you need to play with the resolution of your desktop and EQ to get it to work. You can adjust many of the options for eq by running the eqconfig program file in your EQ directory. I don't remember the exact name of the file offhand, but it is something like eqconfig.exe or close to that.

I cant find the eqconfig file Im installing new drivers to see if it helps. I have 1GB of ram and nothing else is running. If new drivers dont work, then I dont know what will. I tried to install a spare hard drive in her comp, and it didnt work and then eq stopped working on her comp after I put the old one back in. Theres nothing wrong with the HD.

The easiest way to find the config program is to open up the EQ directory and make sure you are on the detailed view where it shows file type, size, date, etc. Then just click the top of the "Type" column and that will sort the files by type. The exe files should be near the top of the list and in there with them should be the config one I am talking about.

You can also try adjusting your desktop resolution to different settings to see if that helps.

The actual file I was talking about is called OptionsEditor.exe. I just verified it as soon as I got home. You can use that to adjust the resolutions and turn off Luclin models, etc. I think if you try different resolution settings for the game and for your deskop, it should resolve the issue, but I can't really give specific settings to try. I just know that many have had that particular problem and fixed it by playing with resolutions.
