Client Crash, Advise me Please *^.^*

Alright. I play on Raid Addicts, and this is apparently the only server thus far that has been having this problem with me. I imagine it may be something to do with either...
1. Me doing a system restore to fix patching
2. The patch itself?
3. The temp. EQLogin server (Though I dont see that it would have an effect on server function)

Here is my problem.... I can login and play normally, but my clicky heal and my clicky rune items say "Cannot effect target PC", which no one else seems to be having this problem. I tried summoning new ones to no avail.

Also, whenever I try a clicky buff or spell, my client crashes. My bard cant sing a spell, many- if not all- of the click items I use will crash me, including using a slow clicky from Midnight mallet or insta-click from Greaves of Desire.... It appears that some will work and some wont (Adrenaline tap will, illusion procs will) One more thing, I tried zoning to ecommons to buff then zoning back to Karnors. I had an NPC targeted and I clicked the self-only buffs alright, then targeted myself and clicked virtue stone etc etc without a problem. Alas, I zone back to karnor and the moment I try to refresh a buff or slow a mob, my client fails me. My bard is in ecommons and cant click anything or sing any songs...

I use: Windows XP
I have 2 directories, one fresly patched, one running 5.2 (RA is 5/2 server)
Connecting to RA server with emulogin server3
Using EQW v. 2.35
My PC:1,000 mHz, 512RAM, nVidia Geforce 3, DSL

I hope I gave ample info <smirks> Thank you for all the help <3

I get this as well. I can't play for very long without doing something to make the client crash, either I use a potion or go back and forth between melee and range attack.

About the "cannot effect target PC" I remember having that problem with some potions. I figured out that when I had my character targeted and used the potion I would sometimes get that message, but then I'd just hit esc lose my target and try the potion again (without any target) then it would work and the potions would be cast/used on my character anyways. try this, maybe it'll work better for you.

I'm a little vague on details and information right now, I can't give any more information until I'm back on my own computer and can specify what exactly the error says and what my computer properties are.
I expect the error has to do with downloaded files or some application I'm missing. The game ran just fine, no crashes, before things started getting changed with the new version and the latest game patch. So my RAM, processor spd, sound card... probably have very little or nothing to do with the crashes.

However, more information about the constant client crashes would be nice. I'm still using the second to latest EMU version, not the 5.2 one since I can't understand what the heck I'm suppose to do with the downloaded files (I wasn't the one who set up EQEMu with the extra downloaded files.)

Good luck to all of you, and thanks for your hard work and effort.
