Crashing after the char select screen

Hey guys, been trying to play this game for about a week now. After I try to log on any char in any zone my eq closes out and it takes me to the desktop. No error message or anything just crashes. I'm using a new laptop with vista and this was the only error I could find in my dgb.txt


[Sun Feb 07 02:01:56 2010]00157:Global6_chr.wld was not there (error -49858).

[Sun Feb 07 02:01:56 2010]00158:Load world end (0).

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I've disabled every firewall, antivirus, and defender and am slowly dissabling my mind :(

Thanks in advanced I hope we can get this up and running.

What expansions do you have installed? What version of the game did you install?
 
Any time I get a missing file indication on anything (and that in the dgb seems like an issue), my standard operating procedure goes like this

1. What is it?
2. Where does it have to go?
3. Can I acquire the file itself?

A. Yes- put it where it is supposed to go. What happens

a) Another missing file error -> repeat, if it seems to be many, fresh install.
b) Another seemingly unrelated error -> Reinstall program.

B. No - Reinstall

Try those if you already haven't. Vista can also be finnicky as hell on its own.
 
Thanks for the responses- I installed EQ titanium off some image files using alcohol 120. I tried doing a reinstall but SoD still doesn't work. You guys think it's a problem with my files? again, when it crashes I don't get an error message or anything - it just jumps straight to the desktop after I select any character.

Should I try installing a later version of eq? (unpatched)
 
Ughhh did a fresh reinstall of a different version (SoF) and it did the same thing.. CHeck this out though on my DBG

After that EQ closes and I'm back at the desktop. It's Vista so so is there something going on w/ ports? I'm lost :(
 
Hey guys, I'm starting to think it may be my pc.. I'm using a pentium dual core processor 2.0 ghz w/ a nvidia 105M graphics card. I hear there is a problem going around with dual core processers this true?
 
Look for Global6_chr.s3d in your eq folder, if you do not have it, you need to re-install the game. That file is for the pet graphics and is required to run the game.

It has nothing to do with your processor.
