So I am trying to play EQ and am using the guide to get there. I am at step 4 (eqhost file) and it's not letting me save the change. It says "cannot create the file. Make sure the path and file name are correct". Whats the deal, any help would be awesome!

This is a common issue with Vista (and maybe Window 7). If you search the forums for 'create eqhost', you will get quite a few threads, e.g.

Basically run notepad as administrator, or don't install EQ into Program Files, but something like c:\everquest should get around it.

The guide should really be updated to mention this as it comes up so often.
