I backed up some EQ2 config files as well as XML files.. DL'd a newer version of Drumsui.
My chat ISsue is fixed...
However I am receiving the bug where I click on the Menu buttuon on the info panel and it makes my experience bar disappear. This never happened before.
I was able to rework the hotkeys to allow the menu to pop up. But still unable to click that menu to bring up the actual menu.. So Trade one inconvenience for another.. But i will take this over losing my chat channels ALL The time
