EVERQUEST/GEFORCE/D3D BUGS?

Aegeas
Anyone else having problems with Everquest on a Geforce system? In particular when I am in NON-full screen mode where I can see the buttons for skills and can see the symbol for my class on the left side, both side panels start flashing every two minutes or so.

Quake3, Win2k, TNT2 ultra

squall2k
Quake3 works fine but if I change the display settings, my framerates drop to around 5-10fps (normally around 40-50fps at high quality 800x600x32). And no I'm not trying to change it to something like 1600x1200x32! This problem even occurs when I drop the resolution, or even just type 'vid_restart' in the console.

Directx 7.0a a no go for w2k!

Ranger
There seems to be some questions and confusion about DX 7. 0a for Windowss 2000. Here is the release posted by MS. DirectX 7. 0a is an update to DirectX 7. 0, providing improved force feedback performance and the best compatibility with today's input devices.

Aegeas
I just downloaded and installed the new patch. The patch DOES NOT fix starting either a dedicated or interactive multiplayer game on Win2k. Most often it just exits back to the desktop. PLAY HARD. .

BlakFlagg
Tried To GeForceII cards in two dual cpu systems: A dual celery NT box, and a dual P3 coppermine system. Using the 3. 84, and 5. 1x drivers, the card continues to lock up 30seconds into the game. My older GeForce DDR works fine in with smp or not.
