General:
It sounds like you have your Project 1999 Everquest installation in the "program files" folder. I highly recommend clicking your EQ folder once (don't open it, just select it), pressing Ctrl+C, then go to C:/ and hit Ctrl+V to paste it into C:\ (so it will now be c:\everquest\eqgame.exe)
This is important because you have UAC (User Account Control) turned on. It's not necessarily a bad thing to have but it causes problems running games that are install there (when UAC is on, they are restricted and not able to copy data sent to the user's PC from the server).
You can always just turn UAC off (most power users do) by accessing your windows login accounts. Do a help search for UAC or user account control using the windows help database for full instructions if you are having trouble.
If you choose not to diasble UAC, you must move your install out of the program files folder. Again, you don't have to completely re-install - copying and pasting the directory works fine as well.
Without DUXA:
You need to first create a shortcut. The easiest way to do that is to simply right click - > send to - > desktop (Create Shortcut).
Once you have your shortcut created, you'll find the target line right away. Add patchme to the very end of that target line, and you'll be good to go.
With DUXA:
As far as Duxa's goes, you'll need to make sure you run it as an administrator. To do this, right click - > run as adminstrator. If you don't have that option, right click the icon - > properties, then click the compatibility tab, and you'll see "Run this program as an administrator" .. Check that box and you should be able to run the program.
