This is more curiosity than actual use.

I sometimes play around with the priorities in the task manager on some apps. I noticed that I couldnt change the priority for eqgame.exe.

Anyone care to let me know why that is? and if its possible to unlock it?

Get process32.zip from Beyond Logic andunzip it to your windows folder or somwhere in your path.

Then open a command prompt and enter

process -p eqgame.exe BelowNormal
Change the priority of processes . . .

When viewing the list of processes, the 4th column shows the base priority of a process. This is a numeric value from zero (lowest priority) to 31 (highest priority). You may set the base priority of a process by specifying one of the priority classes below.
Low 4
BelowNormal 6
Normal 8
AboveNormal 10
High 13
Realtime 24
