Error 1017, can someone please explain?

[Nachtduivel]

Ok, I got the EQEmu address from the ReadMe and put it in. I also downloaded the EQW. I try logging on, and then error 1017 pops up, and tells me to go back to the Patcher. I (at first) used the patcher, and whaddya know? The original address came back. Ok.

I checked some other thread, and one person said to download the EQEmu Patcher (or whatever it's called), so I downloaded it and installed it, and it said I was missing everything even though I placed it in my EQ Directory.

Could I get some help, please? I'm not very smart when it comes to computers, and this is confusing me quite a bit.

Thanks =)
