I'm having hell with SoF in Win7. From a full clean install (including completely emptying EQ dir even after uninstall) the client will work first time.

Once I set it to 1920 x 1200 ingame then log out. Next time I try to load in I get the memory read error.

I'd been doing fine with the EQ Titanium client and 1920 x 1200 res. Oddly enough I would just set WinEQ2 to admin mode in that respect.

I tried adding admin mode to eqgame.exe compatability and it's no-dice.

Also tried installing the august 2007 directx 9.0c runtimes that come with it. Then moved on to the latest runtime install and still no dice.

Edit:- Should add to that I also did installs with anti-virus turned off too.

Update: Well I've come up with a solution but it kinda sucks.

Next time you wanna play, you'll need to edit the eqclient.ini. Remove WinEQ width and height. Fullscreen refresh rate and bits per pixel.

In total 4 entries.

Quote:
FullscreenRefreshRate=60
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
WinEQWidth=1920
WinEQHeight=1200

I wish I would had read this post when you first started it and I could had saved you a lot of trouble. All of the problems you are have are video related, not directly related to Windows 7. Next time you run into problems go into your EQ directory and run the config utility that lets you change your screen resolution, video options, etc. and it will fix the problem. Also you will notice in your eqclient.ini file there is a setting reference to windowed mode, set that to true if your client will not launch, then set it full screen while in game.

You can't actually set a resolution of 1920x1200 in the options editor which is slightly annoying.

But you can once you are in the game. I think it is because the options editor is so friggin old.
