Cannot create the C:\Prgogram FIles\Sony\EverQuest\eqhost.txt file.

Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

Sounds like Vista.

1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories
2. Right-click Notepad
3. Choose "Run as Administrator"
4. Click "Continue" at the UAC prompt
5. Browse to and modify your eqhost.txt file as desired

The first time you load a server, the character list is supposed to be empty.

There should be a Create Character button at the bottom left of the screen.

If your screen resolution is set too low or window size is set too large, you may not see it.

I couldn't tell you what the setting is, but there is also a setting that if you set wrong will make some ui elements, like the character screen not show up.

I was trying to install a copy of Titanium and configure it to use absolutely minimum stuff to just use for a Bazaar character, and I somehow got my character select panel to not show up at all.

But I was kind of dumb and changed all the settings in one fell swoop, so I don't know what caused it. And haven't really bothered with it since then.

I know thats not a lot of help, but you might try reverting any settings changes you have made recently.
