Well the bar at the top with my target, compass, and implied target are gone. I can see them when I am logging in but they are gone when I get in game? I really need my compass too. I updated to 4.3.1 didnt fix it.
There is a neat little file called EQII_Commands.txt/.doc in your EQ2 folder. I recommend to read that, you might discover many commands you did not know.
hehe, very clever, but I know the file, and I have tried alt-n. I did that before the installs. I'm not a noob with UIs or with profit, that's not my problem.
The only other options: you moved them off screen or set their opacity to 0. Solution: load one of the default uisettings files or hit F10 to find them and change the opacity. But since you're not a noob I'm sure you tried that already.
