Well, after logging back in following a 2nd lockup of EQ, I locked up a 3rd time...yuck. I need a bit of help here.

Ok, so dx9 is required now, and the first time since the change I try to log into EQ. I got a nifty little message telling me I have a GeForce2 32mb and should download new drivers (version 5664). I choose to ignore the message for the moment, log in for about 15 minutes no problem everything works fine. I go to the website it gives me, download, and reboot. I log into EQ, looks ok...then I lock up messing with my mp3 player. Restart, and lockup again once in game. I restart....this time when I log in the little nifty window tells me I have some version of a GeForce4 (which I definitely dont) and need new drivers. Um....ok....ignore it for now and log in. Lock up once again about 1 minute after getting in. And here I am. Everything in dxdiag works fine, and I think (but am not positive) the date of my driver changed....its not 3/3/04, pretty recent. So I dont know what the deal is, but I dont want the little window making me think I have the wrong drivers to come up any more, and I especially dont want it to tell me I have a video card that I dont actually have. Just did a search for '5664, geforce2' on google...found one on 3dchipset.com but it hasnt passed the testing, and Im afraid to install lol. Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm too frustrated to mess with it now, so will check in tomorrow. Thanks.

ps...mp3 player was running every time I locked up, and changing songs actually caused the lockup twice, but the vid card/driver messages I'm getting following the patcher make me think that isnt it.

Much appreciated, hope to be in game soon.

Try downloading the 53.03 drivers and install them. Hopefully that will get you back in the game.

There will be a patch 3am PST Thursday morning that is supposed to fix this mess.... . Hopefully it will.

Those are the ones I had before, when EQ told me to get new ones. Will try reinstalling them when I get home.

You can check the box that says "dont display this again" on that little box.

I'd roll back to the 5303 drivers and see what happens with this new patch.
