I followed the step by step exactly... I changed the eqhost.txt file and changed the shortcut to "patchme" .   After running the shortcut, however, the old eqhost.txt file is put back into place and when I click account I am sent to a sony website.  One of the guides I read mentioned this problem but did not discuss how to fix it.  I would really appriciate some help getting this working.
My email is 
alexbeckett@wi.rr.com if the solution to this problem cannot be posted on the forums.  PLEASE help me out.
Thanks a ton, Ramelian
