Please run Everquest.exe

Searched the forums and cannot find a concrete answer to this problem.

Whenever I run WinEQ I get the following message when trying to run EverQuest;

"Please run Everquest.exe"

Path is set to correct directory ( I used the quick start procedure in teh manual), system is brand new (just got it out of the box), disabled virus protection and checked system is running latest drivers. They're aren't any programs running that don't need to be run.

But still no luck.

There's no answer because, well, it works for me and probably just about everyone else =/ There is a subscriber that is having the same issue. What brand of computer did you get, if you dont mind me asking? It might have something to do with the vendor

Either way...
1. I'm sure you realize this but enabling patching via your WinEQ profile would stop the problem
2. You're launching directly from the tray menu, correct?

THanks for the reply, I just bought a Dell 8400.

I will try to disable the patching and see if it corrects the issue.

I have tried launching it from the tray icon and also by creating a EQ default shortcut on the desktop via the WinEQ software.

Enabling patching did correct the issue.....guess I will just have to wait a year while it checks for a patch

Thanks for a great product.
