Odd Desktop Crashing - Redux

Okay, been looking over the fora for the past two days, and I haven't seen something like my problem, so here it goes:

For the past two days, whenever I've used MQ2, EQ crashes every ten minutes, from in-game, to server selector screen. It does this whether EQ or MQ is loaded first.

I'm also using EQPlayNice and MySEQ, so it is possible that it's just a Windows problem...

Anyhow, I'm doing everything one my one computer, because I haven't gotten my router to play nice yet.

I'm using a G*|)-awful pre-Compaq HP computer w/ a 1.5G P4, and 640MB.

I used the VS.net trick to compile MQ2 - usually, I use Dev-c++, but you need VS, so you got VS...

Let me know what else I can fill y'all in on, and let the spitballz FLY!

Problem solved(I think.)

EQPlayNice and MQ2 inject the same type of code to reduce CPU cycles(at least that's what used to happen with Lax's pet project) so there was never a need to run both. One was just a way to do it without having to use MQ2, for people who hate macros.

Try without using EQPlayNice, and then try without that and MySEQ.. and try combinations to troubleshoot your problem down to a solution. Would help us out immensely.

Don't run eqplaynice and mq2 at the same time. It's built into MQ2 as Elric said (MQ2FPS plugin, loaded by default)

Okay, turned off PlayNice, and it works like the Champ it is! Thanks, guys! 8*)
