    Clicking Windowed Mode makes my EQ screen disappear!

    Earlier today while playing in windowed mode I tried to snap the window to one side of my screen. The window disappeared. The program still showed on the task bar but clicking it did nothing. I force-quit the game and relaunched. Clicked "play" on launcher screen. After a few moments...same problem. After checking web, I found that alt-Enter made the EQ screen re-appear but only in full screen mode. Got into game, went to options > display, selected windows mode, and poof - again the screen disappears. Alt-Enter brings it back again, but always in full screen mode. Nothing I try restores it to normal windowed mode, which I've been using for months. Restarting the PC didn't fix it. Please help! I need to run this in windowed mode. Thanks!

    Thank you. I suspect some of those solutions would have worked. I was impatient so I completely removed client files and re-installed the game. It worked, but it was a little bit of a headache because the UI settings were lost. I did however recover my macros, thank goodness.

    (usually happens when pc freezes a sec while trying to move windows around and u let go of mouse when it comes back)

    Fix your offsets they are off visible screen
    eqclient.ini (backup this file first)
    WindowedModeXOffset=-8
    WindowedModeYOffset=-8
    AllowResize=1
    Maximized=1
    RestoredXOffset=89
    RestoredYOffset=85
    RestoredWidth=1659
    RestoredHeight=847

    or
    Launch EQ, sign in, game disappears but on task bar.
    Hold Shift and Right Click Mouse on Everquest app on taskbar (let go of mouse)
    Press M for move with keyboard (do not use mouse to click)
    Wiggle Mouse
    Magic
