Original and subsequent installs were into it's own folder, but not under the default in program files. For grins, I did do a default pathing install and saw not difference, good or bad. The program worked exactly the same way, including minimizing at character select when trying log in. The number problems I have had this go-round coming back to P1999 have been a ridiculous, regardless where I install it or what fix I try.
Fighting a Sand Giant and suddenly the screen minimizes to the upper left hand quadrant of the screen, the the entire screen goes black and minimizes to the completely to the task bar. No keys touched. It's not just when fighting a Sand Giant or a one time thing. That's just an example of the crazy.
This morning, I went to change the font size in the eqclient.ini file. Gone. Missing. MIA It's not even in there. No one else uses my laptop. It's not hacked or compromised. It's been off all night. Go figure. The game still starts and plays, such as it has been.
I am going to fire up my old laptop and copy that .ini file to this machine and see what goes on.

For the SG issue that sounds like your resolution isn't quite right so you're "clicking through" to your desktop behind. Remember, EQ is a 4:3 game - don't try and push it to other ratios.
As far as the eqclient.ini - if you have it installed in a protected location (such as program files) and don't run p99 as an admin, it won't be able to write changes (such as to your eqclient.ini file) so they'll instead be redirected into your user's virtual directory under c:\users\yournamehere\appdata.
Additionally, some changes are only "saved" (written) when the client closes correctly. If you crash on every camp attempt it will never record some settings and you have to change them every time.
