Most likely if you bought Titanium the day it was released, then you were already playing Everquest prior to that. Maybe Titanium was the first EQ you ever owned or played, but chances are that if you got it on the release date that you bought it to play live and already had an active account.
If that is the case, then you would have already had Everquest installed on your PC. If so, then when you installed Titanium, it installed on top of your existing installation. And if so, then your installation has nothing to do with a fresh install of Titanium. This is because installing EQ over existing installations will keep most of your previously set configs, most importantly, your eqclient.ini file. So, if you were set to use windowed mode prior to installing Titanium, then that is what it would use after the installation as well.
Try deleting or renaming your eqclient.ini file now and restart EQ and see if it still loads into Windowed mode on your high resolution desktop settings. I bet it will go right to full screen, which is what it would have done by default on a fresh install.
Maybe if you were using some odd resolution that wasn't supported by EQ, it would somehow set itself to Windowed mode, but I kinda doubt that. From every fresh install I have done on Titanium or SoF, it always starts out in full screen mode until I change it.
I am making some assumptions here, but I think they are fairly logical assumptions. The issue Bidon45 is experiencing sounds exactly like what I remember a while back when many people used to try to use illegal copies of EQ that were not supported versions by the emulator.
Either way, legal copy or not, I already said that there could be other explanations that could cause something similar to this. But, I would rather not waste my time or anyone else's time here trying to help someone who is using an illegal copy of EQ that isn't the correct version to work with the emulator. If we can verify that their version is legal and is the correct version, then I am sure we can continue to try to get this problem resolved.
Also, I guess it is important to note that the Titanium (or SoF) installation has to be directly from the CDs or DVDs. It can not be from a download of any kind. Even the digital downloads from SOE do not work for the emulator, it has to be from the disks.
