UI keeps resetting
 

Every time I log on EQ my UI returns to default. The UI itself is still there, but my chat windows and other tiles are all set back to default. I tried running as admin to fix this and it still repeats the problem. I am using windows 8.1. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This sounds like you have read only (or non-write) permissions to your everquest folder. CAn you add friends to your friends list and log out all the way/back in? or change resolutions? Are they still there in the end? This would at least confirm you can write/edit files from within your EQ folder.

Though I admit, I know next to nothing about windows 8.1 as I avoid it like bad beer!

^ this, check your permissions.. this will affect taking screenshots also
