fixed it

This will happen everytime. But if you set an exemption under the per applications settings to not skin the following files you will have no problems anymore, or at least I dont.

EQ2.exe, Everquest2.exe (both in /sony/Everquest 2 folder) and Launchpad.exe in the launchpad folder.

Glad you got it fixed.  I didn't see your post or I would have suggested excluding.

That's a shame you have to do that.... Hey, just wondering, if you have Vista Aero running, does it kill EQ the same way WindowBlinds does?

bump, I would like to know that as well from any EQ players.

Well, that's good to know. When I first got Vista, I just installed EQII and WoW on a separate login with no skins at all and the basic "Windows 95" classic interface. They run fine that way.
