Hi,

I had the same problem running with windows 7 and using the latest version of Daemon Tools did the trick however I am still having another related issue so figured I would post here rather than add another thread.

Windows 7 won't allow the copying of files directly to the Everquest folder in program files. I have managed to get most of the changes made by going into notepad as administrator and copying and pasting the text from the downloads but I am having a problem with the spells-us.txt folder.

When I extract the spells-us zip file the text looks like this;
帰䉞啌彅剔䥁幌幞幞幞帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帷㔶ぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞ ぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞⵞ帱ㄭⵞ帱ㄭㅞㅞㅞㅞⵞ帱ㄭⵞ帱ㄭㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ㅞ〰ぞ ぞぞぞ㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞ぞ㕞帲ㄭぞぞ㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵 ㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㉞㔵㑞帴㌱ぞⵞ帱帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰〱帰帰㘱帱帰帰ㄭ〵ぞ ぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞㅞ〰ぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞⵞ㔱帰〱帰ㄭ〵ⵞ㤹㝞㙞帵帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帰 帰帰帰帰帰帰帰帱帰帰ര㌊卞浵潭潃灲敳偞䅌䕙归帱幞幞幞〱〰帰帰帰帰〵〰㉞㔲帰㈱〰帰帰帰帰〷帰〷ぞぞぞ ぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞぞ㉞ㄵ帲ㄲ㘰ㅞ㌷㔵ⵞ帱ㄭⵞ帱帱帱帱帱ㄭ ⵞ帱ㄭⵞ帱〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰〱帰帰帱帰帰ㄹ㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵 ㉞㐵㉞㐵㉞㐵㙞㉞帰㐱ⵞ帱帰帰㔲帵㔲

I copied and pasted the above although it did not look anything like the file it was replacing but once I logged into the game it tells me that my level 1 spell is level 255 and uses 1hb?

Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks

@ Lukan

You shouldn't be having any trouble copying, deleting or moving files in the EverQuest program folder in Windows 7, unless, possibly, you're not logged in as Administrator and all non-admin users have been denied the right to install or remove programs.

Either log out and log back in under an Administrator account to make the changes, or if you don't want to do that this page tells you how to run the Windows File Explorer with Admin privileges.

Once you do that, you should be able to copy and replace files in the EverQuest folder. And I would forget about copying text into and out of files unless you absolutely have to; you're just liable to mess something up!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thanks for the advice.

Turns out that I had admin access but I needed to make myself the owner of the SONY folder in order to be allowed to modify it. Thankfully this fixed my problems and I am on my way back to EQ.
