I've had this setup for over a year. 9500 Pro, 512mb RAM PC2700, A7N8X-E, 2400+, 350w PS. I played EQ2 for about 4 months, and then skipped it for a few months. I updated ATI Drivers to the newest rev. . Something is happening now that never happened before. I'll be in the middel of the game and it will freeze, then recover, and I get the VPU recover error, asking if I want to send an email to ATI. The game never crashes, it just shrinks to a window, which I can resize to full screen with no problems. The only thing that has changed is the monitor, which WAS a 17", but now it a 21". This seems like a driver issue? Right? Since there are no artifacts or errors or lockups? WIll turning off VPU recover make this go away?
 
Turning off VPU recover will cause a crash or permanent freeze instead of short freezes. It's a driver related issue, downgrade to an older version and it'll be fine. Most people recommend 5.2 for EQ2.
 
Thanks. I've done some more looking around , and that seems to be the case, esp with the 5.6, 5.7 drivers. ATI must be getting flooded in emails on this issue.
