WSOCK32 Issues

[Fjolvar]

Why do I get this message when I try to extract the file? I can no longer get to the character select screen. It shows the bar loading with the EQ background then the next I know I'm signed out of my EQ account. Any ideas?

I don't know much about computers but I was just on, and someone took over my system and was messing with my computer faster than anything I've ever seen. Powered it down, Ran antivirus / Spyware and it came out clean, Is it possible that someone has found a way to use this file to their advantage?

This is enough for me to uninstall and quit for awhile.. until further notice and concrete solutions are found.

The EQ Launcher has screwed my EQ up so badly. I think it's pretty dumb that everyone is forced to use the same UI, too. I cannot launch Everquest anymore because it just crashes now. Says:

"The instruction at 0x10001a26 referenced memory at 0x0000003c. The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program."

I guess I will just reinstall and hope it works. Basically what the guy above me is saying.

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with WSOCK32. It's much more likely that you have a hidden virus from somewhere else, or that you clicked on a .bat file or something that ran a script and it looked like someone was messing with your computer.

You're rude and probably 12 years old.

nothing to do with the launcher as i already stated in your technical disussion post, you have to change eqclient.ini or go into options and set your screen resolution to fix this

I personally had no issues, no problems, none of my multiple antivirus software picked up anything while I was playing or otherwise. I am have trouble believing so many other people had so many problems with this. 5 computers in all with no problems at all.
