No Shawn, I'm not talking about that. If you run EQW with Windows XP, it will now pop an icon saying eqgame.exe is corrupt and unreadable.

I found a way around this, here is how it works.

1.Run Everquest patcher while having eqhost.txt open(make sure it has eqlogin.eqemu.net:5999 in both login server and registration server)

2.When the patching is done, click file, then save for the eqhost.txt and close it.

3.Run EverQuest through the PATCHER, not EQWindows.

This should temporarily fix the problem, EverQuest will only work through this way until they find a way to hack through that code with EQW. If you want an ETA, find out from the creator of EQW and let him know about this problem.

Gonna check in on this post soon to see how you are doing.

Also, it closes out EQW on Windows XP saying it caused a problem after you hit enter at the login screen. I don't know if it will do it on other OS's, but my guess is it will.
