Check your fire wall. The first few times I started EQ2 after I installed Vista I had the same problem. It took me forever to track down which permission to give EQ because for some reason there are a bunch of stupid failsafes keeping you from downloading *dangerous* internet materials. I guess we are all to stupid to know EQ is bad for our computers. *sigh* no serously it was more than just telling the firewall to let the program through. I would give detailed instructions but I forgot how I weaseled my way to it. Vista looks great, has neat features but the more idiot proof Microsoft makes stuff the harder it is for smart people to do what they want. Oh I seem to get more lag with Vista, but otherwise the game runs fine.
