If it is crashing with out using MQ... chances are it is not a MQ problem

I would suggest first covering your bases with your computer. As in, making sure you are as up to date as you can get.

You can do this individually with each program, or use something like Glary Utilities from https://www.glarysoft.com/

It has a 1-click maintenance button to check out a ton of stuff on your machine, including drivers and programs are up to date.

Make sure you have your EQ logs cleaned out (they get into the gig range and it can cause issues)

Have the patcher "validate assets" so it checks all your EQ files.

After all of that... EQ has graphics settings and CPU load stuff....as does winEQ....(and so does some plugins of MQ2). It is possible they are conflicting with each other. You really only want to use one. Since this is happening outside of using MQ2, I would suggest turning the functions off in either EQ or winEQ.

Try those out to start and see what happens.
 
So some questions for you.

1. it was working on night - you were able to play with mq2 and multi box
2. next day you couldn't reproduce it
3. now you get low frame rates even with 1 instance open and lagging everywhere?

It kind of sounds like you are having either power issues (check your power settings), or your comp is having overheating issues. Have you given your pc a good cleaning with some cleaning duster can stuff? if there is a lot of dust, cathair, cobwebs, etc clogging up your cpu or your fans on your case or video card can cause overheating issues.

Your post didn't give too much information and wasn't very specific. help us out and we'll be happy to help you get rockin!
 
re-re-reading your message you mention alt-enter - I first assumed you meant alt-tabbed to swap windows, but are you trying to force a full screen with alt-enter?
