EZ Server

Have a question ...

I go to load eq and cant get past log in screen. Type in info... get message cant connect to server.

The only thing i did recently was move my eq folder from the desktop to a nother folder on the desktop.

And... to top it off I know jack about comps so any pointers or a direction to a forum/post I need to read?

It all worked just fine a few weeks ago when I was last able to play.

thanks!

OK so we know you are starting at the very beginning, but for troubleshooting purposes lets start there  or close to anyway). You have been here at some point, but take another look, http://www.eqemulator.org/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=PlayGuide
We know you have done steps 1,2,3.
Step 4, the eqhost file, is a likely culprit. Check it exists. That your user account has permissions to it ( right click it, properties, security).
Step 5, that the shortcut points to the right place, and has the patchme on end.
also check that the name of the eqgame file is not past max length. in win7, open the folre on your desktop, then the eq folder. in the address bar where is says something like c:\folder1\eq\   copy that and past here so we can see that it is not to long.

try those see what you get.

I looked at the eqhost file and it is there. I also gave permission to everything for all users.

I am a bit confused on the last step... win7= windows7?

I need baby steps sorry

I tried to re-create the short cut... below is what the Target window reads.

C:\Users\Zogas\Desktop\eq\Everquest_Underfoot_Steam\eqgame.exe patchme

Why have everything installed on your desktop?
you only need a shortcut.
Any problems like this are always to do with access/permissions etc
Especially Windows 7
Move your whole eq folder to your C: root or another Drive
eg
C:\eq\Everquest_Underfoot_Steam\
then create a shortcut on the desktop to eqgame.exe

Try and see if that works

moved everything to C programsx86

created new short cut

same issue

for some reason I feel like I am creating more of a problem, I agree with it being some type of administrative permission issue, are there any other places I need to give permission?

Program Files has more permission issues than the desktop.  So, you made it worse.

Yup, that'll make it worse
As i said in my previous post, move the eq folder to the root of the drive.
not users, not program filesx86, not program files, not windows,

Just the root of the drive
