Vista & Emu not working

[Sipherwoods]

Clean install of Titanium on a Vista 32 Ultimate, setup the eqhost file, make a shortcut of eqgame.exe and have it patchme. click the shortcut, it loads up but closes immediately before showing the EULA screen. Ive tried the fixes ive seen so far and none help. Is there any other way to play it?

Ive seen some people talking about running Emulator with WinEQ2, i tried it but i cant seem to get it setup to run the eqgame.exe patchme at all, it keeps trying to load everquest.exe and patch to live, any help with that as it may fix the problem?

Read that post and I would recommend trying the Running in Compatibility mode fix first.

I run EQ And the emu on a Vista ultimate box straight out of box and it works fine I turned off UAC And Windows Defender I doubt that has much to do with it. sipherwoods you need to change the shortcut properties target field to point to eqgame.exe patchme.

If all else fails set the compatability mode to windows xp sp2 in the properties window after rightclicking on eqgame.exe

We tried Compadability mode along with the patchme, It still wont even load up the EULA, just flashes and then goes back to desktop.

REally dont know what to tell you other then that it works fine on vista for me, actually it runs better then it does on xp... Have you turned UAC off or set it to run as administrator?

It works fine I swear it lol

In C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\Logs, there should be a dbg.txt in there.

Can you post the contents of debug.txt after running the program? It shouldn't be that large.
