Greetings, This problem is NOT an MMO problem but an EQ problem. For over a week I have not been able to log into EQ (either using MMO or Sony loader).It started with not being able to log into the login server, just received an error saying it was not able to connect. After a day, this passed and I was able to load up to the Character Select (CS) screen.
At the CS I was (and still am) able to choose different characters with my mouse but no other button would work. They would show the key being depressed but nothing would happen. I had/have to exit the program using the task manager.
I was hoping someone would have access to a utility program that would shut down the unnecessary background programs and services/processes leaving me with a bare minimum windows 7 x64 Ultimate box capable of running EQ. Then when gaming is done I could 'turn back on' what ever was turned off. I have been waiting for almost a week to hear back from Sony techs but . . . who knows how long this will take.
I even did a system restore to an earlier date but this didn't 'fix' anything. Oh, also, my character at CS appears to be highly accelerated, jerking around very quickly. Can't say how they would look in game as I am not able to log in. I have a stock system, nothing turbo'd or oc'd. The only thing I did was install a new CPU fan that I had to remove the motherboard to attach and this is single speed fan. I had noted that I was running up to 65c and had received several warnings as I hit that thresh hold. But I can't imagine adding that fan would give me problems in this game. I only have one other game that I sometimes play (Ultima Online) but that game plays normally.
Which brings me back to a hope someone has a utility for paring down automatically the services/processes/programs running in the background.
System info
So any sage advice folks can throw at me would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
