Hotbar causing crashes

[eidolen]

Hi Everyone,
I know this is probaly not the right place for this but I'm at wits end and am desperate for help. I have a problem that SOE is ignoring and I figured maybe one of the knowledgable people in this forum might be able to help.

It all started with a zone crash. The game just froze on the environment updating bar at zero. After erasing every ini and cache file I was again able to log in again. Browsing the SOE forums I found this seems to be a problem with macros in the hotbars and they ask you to delete all of your macros and you should be good to go. Well with the game at default w/o and uo mods at all I erased all my macros, but when I tried to open a new hotbar other than the default 2, the game immediately freezes. Instantly and just hangs there.

By using the <Shift> + #x command, I realized that only some hotbars are effected as I can open up say hotbar7 but not hotbar3 which lead me to the conclusion that it's not macros that are messing me up, but links to items that I had on my hotbars ie horse, manastone, carpet, imbued ring, potions, etc...

Now that I know what the cause is, I still don't know how to break those links to be able to clear my hotbars to default. When I scaned the knoledge base via the /petition command for "hotbar crash" is said to delete the files I already did and to clear the macros which I did. It also said to delete a file called "hotkeys_(char name).dat" But that file does not exist on my system. I don't know if they have since moved that file server-side since they posted that resolution, or renamed it to something else, but nothing even close exists in my directory.

The other very strange thing that's happening, is that after I reinstalled the fetish interface into a new directory with eq2 map (manual version) and Goldi's start button (the fetish release) as per all instructions, the hotbars 1&2 are factory size, though when I open up any new hotbar that doesn't lock up my system, they show up at the fetish default size. (The size I want)
Also, The persona window seems to be the factory one, w/o the little tab for the stat bar. (Scratches Head)

So.....
Would anyone with a kind soul answer if there is a file I can delete on my side that will indeed clear out my hotbars or any other idea on how I can erase those bad links. The problems I'm having with fetish are secondary, but any help there would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thank you all kindly,
