I tried to start to set up the game to create my own server and it is doing the same thing to me when I try to change the target under prpoperties.

I think in Vista, the Program Files folder (and sub folders) are protected. As the local admin, you should have rights to change anything you want. Check the properties (security) of your Everquest folder, make sure you have Full Control. Then, check the files you are trying to modify, that they are not "Read Only". Right-click, properties of the file itself.

Even with admin privlages, Everything in the Program files is still protected and you cant edit using notepad or anything. The best way to do this is make a new eqhost file, edit it to reflect eqemu, save it as eqhost.txt and then cut and paste. Overwrite the old and your ready to go.

Edit : Save the eqhost to the desktop as you cant save it directly to the Everquest directory. Then cut and paste

Took about 45 minutes of trying to install my software onto my Brandy New Hell Laptop (with vista) before I formatted the entire thing and broke out my XP Pro.
