Windows Vista won't allow me to change the "EQHost" file

[v6greenfbird95@yahoo.com]

After going in circles for hours. I just installed the client to mydocuments........ solved all the problems. dont forget if you are on a duel core you may need to set everquest to run on one proccessor, You can do this by pulling up the task manager. go under proccesses right click eqgame select (select affinity) and set it to run on cpu 0. If you dont see any options when you right click eqgame click preform administrative tasks.......



Have fun and check out the keeper of the vale server

I had the same issue, but I just moved the eqhosts file to my desktop, edited it, and then moved it back. This was with Windows 7.

Vista puts in special rights management blocks/checks on the Program Files directory. It is usually best not to install there, I've my my share of problems with other programs and games so I just don't install anything there.

As with Vista, Microsoft has been hoping to encourage better software development and while it may have caused Vista alot of heartache, it's paid off. The whole UAC scene is actually a good thing as much as you might hate it.
