Entropy Report post Posted June 4, 2007 BTW, someone reported that disabling the sound in el.ini helped. So you should try that, see if it makes any difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthropologist Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Just tried that, no changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Ok, if you still have your old client, move the el.ini file from the old client to the new one. Also, delete el.cfg from where you installed the new client. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthropologist Report post Posted June 4, 2007 Tried with the old .ini file and no changes. I noticed this before, there is no el.cfg file in the new files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
