<p dir="ltr">You could try running eQUEST in compatibility mode. If you search for "compatibility" through the "search programs and files" box of your Start Menu, you should get something like "run programs made for previous versions..". Run that wizard and pick your eQUEST installation. Windows will likely apply XP compatibility settings to eQUEST and then hopefully your 3D problem will have gone or been reduced.</p>

I suggest looking at the size of the .pdl file. I have had models where after a large number of changes it gets huge (30 Mb or larger) and causes model crashes. Deleting that file has brought crashing models back for me.<br>
