I'm running Windows Vista on my computer and when i log onto any server it cause me to move really really quickly whenever i try to move or turn or anything. Does anybody know what the problem is and if they do, could they please help? Thank you.

Right click your EQ shortcut and go to Properties, then the Compatibility tab. Change it to run in compatibility for Windows XP. This should fix your issue, which is more likely a dual-core processor issue.

See if that helps.

Hit Alt/Ctrl/Del and bring up the task manager. Start EQ. Go to the processes tab in Task Manager. Find eqgame.exe. Right click and choose "Set Affinity". Uncheck Core 0, click OK. See if that changes anything.

If it does, I can help you set affinity each time you play with a little batch file. Let's see if that works, first.

Try it the other way around. Try de-selecting core 1 instead of 0.

i remember reading 303 error was related to missing expansion(s). what version of eq do you have installed, and is it correct for the server you are attempting to play on?

also check the files eqtext.txt or eqstr_en.txt maybe missing
