Windows 7

Playing here on an Athlon 64 x2 5400+, 4gb RAM, Windows 7 Beta (probably install RC tomorrow), but some cheapo onboard video - setting processor affinity definitely makes a noticeable difference.

Titanium or SoF?

Titanium. Oh, and this is Windows 7 x64.

Cool.

I'll have to load up Windows7 and check it out. If you happen to get SoF, can you let us know?

I'm not surprised that Windows7 work with Titanium or that it would work with SoF since it's using the same kernel as Vista, though.

I keep an XP machine mainly for GeorgeS tools (I like those), haven't figured out a way to run them under Linux yet.
The Windows 7 your're talking about - I've seen some of it - it looks like they copied a lot of KDE3.5.
KDE 3.5 is pretty nice, I still like to use it for most development. All tough many Linux developers do not like KDE because it is a big memory hog (just like windows

).
KDE is already at 4x and by the time that windows 7 is out, they might be up to 5x.

My Old XP runs on a 64 bit CPU, I installed all the utilities suggested here, and it now runs the EQ client fine with Titanium.
I don't like SoF much because all my Titanium UIs will not work there, and I never liked the newer UI's.

3. Go to the "Compatabilty" tab.
4. Check the box next to "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"
5. Hit "Apply" and "Close" and your done.

Start up eq again and hopefully that will fix it. You will have to change your resolution in game, but other than that everything runs fine. Good Luck, hope this helps.

When I use this fix, is there any way I can run the game in windowed mode for my resolution(1440 by 900)?

Press ALT-Enter?

As an update, RC is the same as Beta when it comes to all of the above. I installed in Sunday.

Which one? 7127?

Doesn't work. Any other suggestions? Alt-Enter just takes me back to the 640 by 480 resolution(Can't change video mode in options either).
