<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This is just a shot in the dark, but have you tried opening the same SIM file using the 3.64 SIM viewer or a text editor? That might establish whether there’s just something bonkers with the 3.65 SIM viewer
in your case. You can find (and create a shortcut to) the SIM viewers (D2SimViewer.exe) in the same installation directory as your eQuest executable.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
