Profile System Updates&FeedbackFollow

Testing my signature here not sure where else to.

I am on Windows XP and the Item collector worked fine right until I installed OOW. I turn on Collection and as soon as I change Windows, an exception occurs in Backend.exe but the Item Collector apeears to be working, it's not. I will try to send extended information to Alla next time I run EQ and the item collector.

I have the Item Collector set for profile support, I'm logged into Alla's (even tried logging out and logging back in), I'm a premium member, but the item collector doesn't do anything. It lists the following:

EQ Item Collection Engine v 2.00 (23.5) starting up...
Username set to: beachcomm
Profiles enabled.
Running in direct-memory mode.

And that's it. Nothing else ever happens. I doesn't update profiles, scan any items I look at, nothing whatsoever. I've zoned, used different characters, tried starting the collector before and after I start up EQ, restarted my computer, pretty much everything I can think of, but no love.

Tried it on WinPCap and Memory Reading, Profile Support is checked, it's set to automatically start collecting and I've manually stopped it and started it.

Help.

P.S. In case it matters, I'm running 98 and used to be able to use the item collector in the past.

Like I said, I've tried starting EQ and then the collector and then zoning, and I've tried starting the collector and then EQ and then zoning, but nothing changes either way. The collector just sits there, without error but never actually doing anything else.

Seems to me that despite all the posts with regards to oow items not being updated by the profiler, no one really cares.
By now I get the feeling that EQ2 etc takes precedence on Alla, and no one gives a flying fig about the updater :/

Since I have installed OoW and DoN the item collector has just stopped working. I did this 3 days ago and the item collector has not updated my characters since. I am reading similar problems on the board with little response I hope I didn’t just pay for a site that is going to leave its members just hanging out to dry! Please at least let us know your on the problem.

Thanks;

P.S. I am running IC v 2.00 [23.5] on a windows xp pro machine and it was running acceptably well before the DoN and OoW install.

Got my premium membership a week ago and am using the profile updater for the first time. I noticed some things:

- The field "Deity" is empty for all uploaded characters.

- Only Kunark and Velious are enabled, although I also bought and registered Luclin, PoP, Ykesha, LDoN.

- Items from the inventory do not show up (should they?).

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

Problems already stated:

New problems:
- The slot on the waist item (Chitinous Belt) shows up as empty, although there should be an augment attached (Cracked Green Shard of Might).
- The augment (Adventurer's Stone) on the charm item (Kobold Skull Charm) does not show up.
- The feet slot is empty, although there should be Initiate's Boots of the Scale.

I noticed an issue with the auto profile updater.

I ran the install from \\machine\share\setup.exe

it claimed to extract the winpcap to c:\xxx\winpcap...exe

it claimed to run it..

only it had extracted it in fact to \\machine\share\

so it didnt run.


Oh, and even when I ran it by hand, and stuff, it detected eq, but didnt seem to find any of my toons.
