Do you have anti-virus software installed? It's starting to sound like an AV attempt to passively block the program from running.

No, it seems like it didn't interfere with either of those. Just make sure that it's not blocking the game from running.

It could be the case that it's trying to start with an unsupported resolution.
Open up eqclient.ini in your Everquest directory and add the following commonly supported options:

under [Defaults]
Code:
WindowedMode=TRUE
under [VideoMode]
Code:
Width=1024
Height=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

Ok, my eqclient looks like this currently,

[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE


Also, I am wondering now if it might now be something with the video card driver, it's an ATI Radeon 3100 on a Toshiba labtop. I just read about various problems with these, not sure though, since this computer did run eqemu just fine when I first bought it.

Alright, so edit eqclient.ini to include what I've listed in my previous post and then try launching the game again.

ATI Radeon 3100 for laptops
Windows 7 32-bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-32.aspx
Windows 7 64-bit: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-64.aspx

Choose the link appropiate to your version of Windows.

If not Windows 7:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Edit: If [VideoMode] is missing then add it.

Code:
[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
WindowedMode=TRUE

[VideoMode]
Width=1024
Height=768
WindowedWidth=1024
WindowedHeight=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

So I should add the WindowedMode=TRUE above the sound true or replace it? and then add the whole other section including [VideoMode]

You may want to try getting that driver directly from Toshiba's website:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...t/jsp/home.jsp

Click Downloads and input the information for your laptop.

Ok I am going to try to download the driver now. The last thing didnt work either. Just to make sure, I am supposed to add the patchme to eqgame app, not EverQuest?

Right, you are supposed to make a shortcut to eqgame.exe and add patchme as a command-line argument.
In Windows you would do this by right clicking the shortcut and going to properties and appending patchme to the target path.

If nothing works maybe you should try reinstalling from the EQ Titanium CD's without using the eqemu launcher that you mentioned earlier.
