Start MQ up, that should help.

On the chance that you already did, you'll need to provide a bit more information.

My guess is.
1) User error
2) See #1

Make sure your ini doesn't have the window loc at a position off screen.. alot times people redo their drive and change screen resolution when they do..

Also, if you type /who does the super who info come up in the EQ chat window, or just dosnt show up at all?

If the chat is showing up in the EQ chat window, you might not have the chatwnd plugin loading....check the readme for info on how to start plugins.

I can tell you that I'm experiencing the same thing today. It was fine yesterday. There were some files downloaded from the patch server when I logged in today. All the plugins work, etc. /who never shows anywhere as the window is not opened. I've done the same as far as closing and reopening, logging out, back, reboot, etc. I do get the cool splash screen when loading and such but when you get to the char select screen, the mq2 window is not there, go into the char and it's still not there.

Just a bit more info.

Change your resolution to see if the MQ window is offset out of sight.

look at your macroqeust ini and one from a fresh download the other day my ini changed for no reason and i was not even getting any fuctionality in game no changelog window and a couple of time's it gave me incorect version errors. went and got a new ini because it didn't look right and fixed my problem.

I've been having a kinda same problem. I just downloaded the update to MQ2 6/20 one and everytime i compile i get 1 error for each section when it tries to build the .dll

I get no mq2 window, i didn't test the /who, and my custom macro that displays spell duration and such all shows unknown so i'm guessing non of the plugins are working (don't take my word i know nothing else other then some simple macro coding).

But yet i can still run the macros, i just don't get a mq2 chat window or anything that will display errors and such. Kinda weird.
