Windows 7

[Ineluki]

Greetings..

I have just got a new pc with windows 64bit,i have upgraded from windows xp pro.

I have been running the game okay with windows xp pro but now i have installed the eq1 titatium client on my new pc i am having problems.


Everytime i try to change and save the script from

[LoginServer]
Host=eqlplogin1.everquest.com:15900

to

Host=eqemulator.net:5998

It keeps saying ACCESS DENIED?

Is this something to do with admin rights because i never had a problem with xp pro and it might be because i have not got admin rights as this is a new pc.

Help please.

It is UAC that is causing the problem. The easiest work around it is to copy the file to your desktop, make the desired changes then copy it back to its original location.

[Ineluki]

Copy which file? can you give me a step by step guild, i really am not that pc savy.

Plese..

In Vista or Windows 7 it is usually a bad idea to have things under the Program Files (or other restricted access) folder, especially things that are old and haven't been updated to work properly with the new restrictions placed on applications there.

Move the folder somewhere else, like C:\eqclients or whatever and you'll be much happier.

[Ineluki]

Sorry to appear thick but can you give me a step by step on moving the folder.

I just got this pc today and don't want to do anything wrong.


And what does UAC stand for please.

UAC stands for User Access Control. If a big pain in the butt. you can turn it off in the control panel under users or users accounts.

Okay well any chance you can tell me how to actually do it. I have looked in the account section but i cant see anything that mentions User Access Control.

Thanks

Okay i have found it and changed the file, thanks.

The next problem i am having is changing the shortcut target.

I right click on EQ1 shortcut and select Properties then i replace this line

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\EverQuest.exe"

with this line

"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

and i get the message box flash up saying

The name 'C:\ProgramFiles\Everquest\eqgame.exe' Specified in the Target box is not Valid

Make sure the path and file name are correct?

I had not problem using the same method with windows xp pro

If this

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\EverQuest.exe"

was the original file path then

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

will be the new file path.

Okay ill try it tomorrow, had to go to bed as i have early work meeting in the morning.

Thanks for all the help.

Greetings...

I thought i would try it before i went to work but it still gives me the same message?

I even reinstalled the whole game but still get the same message.

If anyone here has installed this on windows 7 64bit and followed the target changing notes, can you please show me what you have in your target box.

I can copy and paste that and it should work.

Thanks

Ok I'm making this up off of my Vista computer cause I'm too lazy to walk up the stairs to my Win7 computer, so lets hope I don't botch it.

Uninstall EQ Titanium
Reinstall EQ titanium in C:\Everquest
Open up the start menu on your computer and in the box type: C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt

Notepad should open up this file for you to edit
Change it to: Host=eqemulator.net:5998
Save the file and close the window

On the desktop, right click and create a new shortcut.
In the box type: C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme
In the next window it will ask you to name it, then finish it.
You should be good to go (I hope) after that

I have changed the host=eqemulator but i didn't change it by typing in C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt. When i type that into the run box it says no matches found but if i do i search with just this line eqhost.txt in my computer section it brings up that file?

As for reinstalling to C:\Everquest , how does that work and what is the whole line to use.

At the monent it is installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest, is this right?

I have used the demontools mount image method of installing this on my new PC which is running Win 7 64bit. I did have it installed on my old pc which was running Win XP Pro 32bit without any problems following the same set up method.

Could you go and have a look at your Win 7 pc and see where it's installed and what is in the target box please.

Is your PC running Win 7 a 64bit OS?

Thanks.

When you reinstall the game it, at some point it will ask you where to install it. C:\Everquest is easy and simple. If you put it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest, you will most likely explode from the pain and suffering Windows UAC will inflict upon you.

C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt won't work cause you have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest. Uninstalling and reinstalling to C:\Everquest will fix that problem.

My Windows 7 computer came with the computer I got for the kids. I requested a 32bit version, but Windows info says 64bit. I didn't really dig to deep into it.

I don't install Everquest. I just copy and paste over the network or external hard drive. Titanium doesn't seem to care if its installed or not. I'm not sure about SoF or SoD. When I copy and pasted to my Windows 7 computer, everything worked fine.

I'm getting ready to upgarde Vista to Win 7 32bit in a few days cause I can't take it anymore.
