Ok, ill take the time to help people the best i can. Im a little knowledgeable when it comes to computers so i should be able to dumb it down. I had the issue, found the files and just deleted them.

Extract the zip file(changes14) to your sony->EQ file.
When it asks to replace other files, say yes.
Now finding wsock and eqgame.dll. Generally they are a couple of the last files in that folder, but if they arent. click on one of the icons and hit the "w" key over and over. Your selection will change from file to file that starts with a "w". Go slowly until you find Wsock.dll and delete it. The same goes for eqgame.dll, except hit the "e" key. If you cant find these files, make sure you didnt place them somewhere else. Go back to your basic "sony" file directory, which means the main folder by hitting the up arrow on a folder icon at the top of your window. Then hit control+F on your keyboard. Type in the file name, select search all files and folders and hit search. When it comes up, write down the location and then go to that file location.

I got the please delete wsock and eqgame.dll also... Since I deletes the wsock file before hand, deleteing the eqgame.dll will remove the message. I think even if u dont have wsock and just have the eqgame.dll it will trigger the message for both them.

still saying application failed to initialize properly (0x000001d) something to do with eqgame.exe little help plz when anyone can

same problem as maxpower

Ok its done :3 ... and playing
(the patcher delete the 2 archives?)

Dude we already know how to do that stuff, the wsock32.dll will not delete because of trustedinstaller shit blocking, and as for EQemulatorlauncher its even worse. It patches shit to desktop then just crashes.

Alas, I have tried all these fixes. Stuck on application failed to initialize after all. Gonna check out some other servers until this gets sorted out.

eqemu keeps having errors for me too, this is why i prefer duxa's launcher =P

that is because your screen resolution is not set / invalid ... either go into the options of your EQ install (there is a shortcut in start => programs) or change the eqclient.ini

this is the section you are looking for, it might look similar ..
just change it to your resolution (this one is 1280x960 ;))

and here is a youtube video on how to install the eqemulauncher step by step ...
