EQ2 doesn't start

After I've logged on and hit "Play", the screen goes black (and the cursor changes to the game cursor) like it's supposed to, but then goes back to my desktop and ends. I've tried turning off my virus scanner and disabling all other active programs through msconfig, but the problem persists. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

What is an EQ2? srug

An EQ2 is t3h n3rd game of the west. (It's EverQuest 2)

Did you pay the bill? haermm

🙁.... Yes 🪩

Wait, how do you find your system specs?

If on Windows, start menu, select run, type "dxdiag" in.

Sounds like a video card catastrophe.

'Twas what I was thinking. Currently, I'm trying to use this program to find out if my computer's even compatible for EQ2. If not, I'll need new stuff.

Why didn't you look under the box when you bought it to see the sys. requirements?

I got a digital download. 😐

I did check the site, however, and I do meet the video card requirements. I think.

Also, I have a problem with Internet Explorer 7 (Don't worry, I'm only using it because I have to). I tried installing it, and when it was done installing it told me I needed to restart the computer for it to finish. I did so, but when it was done booting up there was no Explorer... Anyone know what to do?

Sounds like something to do with memory, to me. I'm not a computer whizz but if something's not running properly, or closing itself down, it's likely because there isn't enough memory to run it.

Or, it could easily be something else 😮

I have 510 MB left 😬

Does anybody have a link to Internet Explorer 6? (7 doesn't install properly)

I think I could use a new video card though... Any suggestions?

You need a video card capable of running it. So what video card do you have and what is the recommended video card for this game?
