Windows cannot find eqgame
 
Greetings. Coming back to the game after a long break.

I will keep this short. When I attempt to run the "Launch Titanium" batch file as an administrator, I am getting the message "Windows cannot find 'eqgame'". I followed the Guidebook thread to a T:

https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=2651

Before the error message, the command prompt comes up and reads "C:\Windows\system32>start eqgame patchme". Then says it cannot find the file. I installed the files in C:\EQ Emulator, so it isn't a Program Files issue as described in the thread.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've not used the "Launch Titanium" batch file, but it sounds like you might need a:

cd "\EQ Emulator\whereevermyeqgame.exe is located" line at the beginning since it's searching for eqgame.exe in the system 32 directory.
or change your batch file to read something like -- start "c:\eq emulator\<put eqdirectory here>\eqgame.exe" patchme

OR you can just create your own shortcut something to the effect of the below but replacing my c:\Sony\Everquest directory with your file location (remember quotes since you have spaces in the directory structure).

Ok, I have tried all of the above to no avail. I think this same problem happened to my brother and I can't recall how he fixed it, but... My theory is this System 32 start is the problem, but I don't know enough to fix it. Believe me, I tried. I even tried the shortcut thing.
Can I get a simple to follow, idiot-proof walkthrough of what to do?
