    Vista and Everquest 1

    Got my new PC with VISTA yesterday. I was really happy untili I tried to run
    EQ1 and cant get past the patch screen. I have updated DX files. I have set
    the properties to run in administrator mode and set it to run in Winxp SP2.

    Here is my system info:



    Gateway FX530QS
    Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU @2.4Ghz 2.39 Ghz
    2045 MB RAM
    VISTA Home Premium 32 Bit OS
    Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS

    Thank You,

    When you say you can't get past the patch screen, does the patcher start at
    all? Do any files get checked or download? Any error messages?

    Might run the program in single core mode, check the eqplayers.com site for
    Vista troubleshooting suggestions. You're missing 3 megs of ram. In
    Compatibility tab Disable visual themes and desktop composition. Might also
    help.

    Any other games working OK? New Quad core system, old game, expect problems.
    Don't let it fustrate you.
