Hmm, yeah why don't I put solved on here?  Well, just because you assume the problem is solved.  I'll post it as being solved.  Even though me the one with the problem is still having the problem.

Hmmm I C... well after reading through the posts i came to this...

cool, Karyuu, thats that problem out of the way thn :)

Couldnt agree more with you Karyuu, I had an interesting experience with the current MB I have, but thats for a different thread :)

and thought that it was from the original poster, my bad  :-[...

as your problem ISN'T solved try the following one by one so we know the actual fix;

Ensure you are NOT running Windows Vista

Check your game setup to ensure you do not have either of the [Keep All Maps Loaded] and [Load All Maps] options ticked?

Check to make sure your gfx card is OpenGL compliant, most intel chips are not real good with this...  EQ and EQ2 both use DX NOT Open GL...
(IMO this is because intell seem to think that there is nothing other than microsoft and therefore focus on the wintel market)

Remove your graphix card drivers, turn off the computer and restart it then re-install the drivers and re-boot and then try the game again...

Also you have given very minimal information for us all to work with... whenever posting to a forum it is good to include in your post...

CPU: Intell Core Duo 3.5Ghz
RAM: 2GB
GFX CARD: NVIDIA GEFORCE FX 6200

Breif Description of the problem: The game starts to load but crashes at X point giving the above error number blah blah blah...

The quote you saw was me 'thanking' Karyuu for ruling out the non-compliance issue with OpenGL.

"May there only be peaceful and cheerful Earth Days to come for our beautiful Spaceship Earth as it continues to spin and circle in frigid space with its warm and fragile cargo of animate life."
