Question about playing off of a thumb drive

[shams]

Alright, so I have a new question.. I copied my EQ files that I use on my home PC onto a thumb drive along with the shortcut I use at home to launch the server selector. This morning when i got to school, I copied and pasted everything over so that it mirrors (at least I'm 99.9% positive...) where/how I have my files set up at home when I play p99. When I go to log in however, I keep getting an error saying that a connection to the server couldn't be made. Also, I tried using the EQemu launcher after using Duxa's AllInOne installer and I essentially get the same error there.

Also, when I close the EQemu launcher it tells me that it could not write the config file and to please check access to C:\Program Files(x86)\Sony\Everquest\eqemulauncher.xml.
Below that it tells me that access to the same path mentioned above was denied.

Again, I'm not the most computer savvy person so I'll keep looking around for a solution, but in the mean time if something comes to mind, please throw me a bone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for all the help thus far, I love the p99 community despite the image the server forum can present at times!

Edit: my shortcut that I'm using does have the patchme line added to it and I am running Windows 8 (I know).
