Deleted the persona file and didn't crash ... also had no way to access the paperdoll since I had the inventory window installed.
So logged out and deleted the inventory file. I can access the default inventory with the paperdoll fine. Character appears in the window and I can rotate the image using the mouse fine.
Not sure what else to try, so I guess I'll go ahead and upgrade the .NET to v2 and see if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your help so far, and thanks Maelya for posting ... I was beginning to think that I was going crazy...
Edit: Okay, uninstalled .NET Framework v1.1 and installed .NET Framework v2.0 and EQ2 still crashes when I access the Paperdoll tab from the enhanced persona window
