Got a little tip for anyone that runs multiple instances on the same box.

I used to be able to alt+tab to different EQ windows and the graphics always showed up, but then I started getting something else instead - a blank screen that I had to maximize with Alt+enter before graphics would show.

At first, I thought it had to do with the new vid card that I dropped in my box. But then suspected that maybe the video settings were slightly different on my two instances. After about an hour or so of fooling around between windows, trying to make sure it all added up, I just copied eqclient.ini from one directory over to the other. Instant success, happily ever after.

So if you ever get blank screens when alt+tabbing, take the easy way out and just copy that ini file.
