This strange new window appeared in my account, but not the others, on the same computer. What is it, and how do I get rid of it. No addons at the time, and resetting to default settings didn't fix it. Currently residing in Netherlands, using NA servers.

    Not sure how to get the image to show.

    Oh, and I should say that the game was a fresh install and this is the first time I have tried to use it. Running repair didn't help either.

    Do you have a screenshot? What does it look like?

    EDIT: You posted as I did. That looks like a glitched chat box to me. Have you relogged?

    Looks like a new chat window with all the chat options turned off. You should be able to mouse over it and be able to see an 'edit' button appear to close it.

    It's not the chatbox. That's what I thought too. The chatbox is where it belongs, functioning properly.

    I did restart the game, and the computer, and it is still there.

    Mousing over it causes a ton a errors to fly by on the screen.

    Sounds like an add-on broke.

    There is an add-on for reporting bots that has a chat box like window.

    It does look a little like Bot Scanner 2000 window. Do you use Plays.tv or Shadowplay to record videos? Sorta looks like a Plays.tv window.

    The clock, visible in the upper right hand corner of your screenshot is from an addon.

    Do any of the other people who use the same computer use addons?

    I'm pretty sure they're not account specific - if they're installed on the PC they'll be available to all ESO accounts. I recommend double checking the addons menu in-game to see if any show up.

    Don't forget when you remove your addon folder, to also remove the savedvariables folder too.

    I think it's the combat text log. It is bundled in with the addon in that screenshot, though I can't remember the name. Maybe it's Wykyd's Framework? I'm honestly not sure.

    Use Imjur instead.

    And, here, this should work:

    Whoa there, don't go throwing my baby under the bus like that!

    OP, if you can post a picture of the error messages, or disable addons until the window disappears, we could probably tell you what's causing it.

    Remember, always throw addons under the bus using your legs to lift, not your back; you'll hurt yourself.
