You cannot attach a debugger while playing Project 1999.

[mgellan]

I recall I got this message after installing the latest rev of Visual Studio on my laptop, os you may actually have a debugger running if you've installed software of this nature?

Regards,

Apparently a lot of people?
After looking further into A/V... it seems that Avast is now the best one to go for - and McAffee is still a resource hog.

Thanks for posting the update about AVG--I made an exception in AVG for the install folder and it's working again.

For anyone else who is interesting...
To make an AV exception:
1. Open the AVG Antivirus Console
2. Click on "Options" in the upper-righthand corner of the console and select "Advanced Settings"
3. Click on "Exceptions" from the list on the left, the in the right-side panel, click on "Add exception".
4. For "Exception type:", choose "Folder" then Browse to your "Sony" install directory for EQ.
5. Click on "OK" to add the exception
6. Play EQ1999 again!


One thing that should be tested to see if it works is to have made the exception type an "Application or File" type and only exclude the Launch Titanium batch file so that it's not excepting an entire directory from protection.

This is what worked for me. Adding the exception for just the launcher as an application or file didn't work. You have to do it as a folder and just select the entire EverQuest folder. Running Windows 7 here.
