Ok, I don't know if this matters or not but I did do a fresh install of Windows XP from 98. But since all games are on different drive from main one all games were saved. But to the point, for some reason I can make it all the way to the character select screen and my character is spinning and everything. But nothing responds, not my mouse or keyboard. Wondering if anyone has a fix. If you need to know something just ask.

Hmm, that's all I can think of. Need anything else say so.

Hmm, ok, your graphics card is good. is it sharing an IRQ with anything else, particularily your sound card or network card?
Your mouse and keyboard. Are they both USB? If so, is the mouse wireless and or an optical mouse? (the ones with the laser in the bottom instead of a mouse ball) If that is the case, try plugging the keyboard into the PS2 keyboard port using the supplied adaptor, and continually move the mouse during sign in to see if that prevents the lockup. Some optical mice, particularily the microsoft Intellimouse Explorer have a "sleep" mode where they go into powersave, and everquest occasionally does not detect them, especailly if the mouse and keyboard are both on USB. You can sometimes fix that with an Alt+Enter into windowed mode and then back to normal screen. You also may want to make sure you have the correct mouse driver installed and not just the system default driver (or make sure you don't have BOTH installed, that will cause the same issue)
What brand mouse are you using?

Neither for USB, and I'm pretty sure there is no IRQ sharing. The mouse is actually pretty old I think, it's a Logitech with a wheel and ball. Oh, and it's not wireless either.

It's crazy how it was working and now that I got Windows XP it isn't. Maybe I should just reinstall. Ugh.
