Please run EverQuest.exe?

[Kibbl]

Well my old shortcut to EQemu wasnt working so i thought "no biggie ill just re-install and then run back through the steps so it works again" So i just finished making the shortcut and i went to try it out and it gave me the message "Please run EverQuest.exe" Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Okay well i fixed that problem but went right back to what it was doing before, now it says that eqgame.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close?
I have already tried re-installing not sure what else to do

Your first problem was caused by your shortcut as you have already found out. As for the second, have you configured your eqhost file? To debug your issue, we need operating system information and what not.

Yup i did configure the host file
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
version 2002
service pack 2
is the operating info

I've seen this caused by video settings. You might do a search here in the forums and see if anything useful comes up.

Yeah, in particular, widescreen formats. I had this issue with my laptop.
