eqgame.exe application error

[Convict]

I am having this exact same problem as well. I have been gone for over a year and haven't started eqgame.exe since. I patched up to date the files for p1999 and tried to start EQ with no luck.

My .NET framework and service pack are both up to date. Running Chkdsk /r does not help.

I have no problems loading any other application on my system. My directx is up to date.
I've been googling this issue for days and tried everything short of reformatting my drive which I really do not want to do.

Ok, I tried all that, deleted all the framework files it would let me and re-installed them, trying EQ as I went and still no joy. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I appreciate the help though, but I guess I'll have to keep trying. I realized it worked on her old hard drive and we have a new one installed that is twice as big and I can't remember if it worked on the new one or not. It works from the old one if I boot from it so she's happy for the moment and I'll just keep trying on the new one when I have time. Again thank you for you attempt to help.

Did you try the 3.5 .NET framework? (4.0 is current)

I had to uninstall .NET framework 4.0 and install 3.5.

.Net framework 3.5 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=21


And the service pack:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=25150
and after that, do windows update to get the updates ( might have to restart before and then go to windows update and manually check for updates )

Apparently 4.5 is now current. I am using 3.5.

Have you tried removing the .net framework completely...?

I'm not sure why it would work, but give it a shot lol.

Also, if 3.5 isnt working (make sure this was the version you installed!) try using an even older version to see what happens.

What was your OS again? Also, and I think you answered this already too but im having a bad morning and don't feel like reading back over the first page, do you have eq running as an administrator, and have you tried all the listed compatibility modes? Have you disabled visual themes and tried any other comp. options listed under the programs properties?

And lastly, did you try reinstalling everquest, making sure that it was installed as an administrator, and *not* in the program files folder? (install it to something like c:\everquest)

Let me know whats up after you've tried all that (reinstall EQ first, especialy if its in the program files folder, and *make sure* you run the installation as an admin by right clicking the setup file and clicking 'run as administrator')

Got this figured out. Heads up to anybody who experiences this in the future, its Norton360. Just uninstall that garbage, as even creating exemptions for eqgame and running it as administrator does not work. Soon as I removed this and rebooted EQ and the emu launcher both work just fine.

Norton 360 is absolute shit. Doesn't even work well as virus protection. Use avg/webroot/kaspersky's. Those are the best three on the market, with kaspersky's being the best by far (also the most complicated, however)

Oh, and thank you very much for letting us know about this [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] i really appreciate it!

AVG was blocking mine causing the error.
