Your using windows 7 and your either not the administrator or you don't have your permissions set up properly. right click on the EQ folder and click on preferences or whatever. Change the security settings to full for that folder so you can edit files and that should fix the issue.

its worked for me, really thanks for your help. but now i have other problem:
When i try to log again, EQEMU says: Checking for updates
Loading serverlist ...
Error while retrieving newest version.
Could not reach webserver. Trying again in 10 seconds.

I created shortcut of EQGAME.EXE, i run it as administrator or normal, and it says: Please run EverQuest.exe
And when i run Everquest.exe it says: Connection Failure. Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com

WTF? how is it possible? i started to play yesterday and it worked really fine for me... i didnt touch anything... Any help? thanks :)

Been playing for a while now and just got this same error for the first time..... Tried to run EQ.exe and get the same error.

Same issue here. Was playing last night. Nothing has changed. Can't reach server now.

I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...

Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found here (http://www.project1999.org/files/eqchangesv27.zip).
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org (http://www.eqemulator.org/).
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.
