Are you using WinEQ? I had this issue right when I started and I just needed to close WinEQ.

 

No I am not using WinEQ.

 

Dont run via search. Use a shortcut. Or navigate to install folder.

If you installed directly in a folder off c:\, move to somewhere like c:\users\public\

 

I thought this issue was brought up by not clicking on the right eqgame.exe thing

 

Yea. But I dont know how they are doing it wrong. The installer with shortcuts seems easiest. Not sure why people make it harder for themselves

 

Alternate solution: put eqmain.dll in every single folder on your entire hard drive and you can start the game from anywhere.

 

It is installed at D: >eq>TAKP. The exe im using is eqgame.exe

 

It works when i do not search for the .exe file

 

Run as admin?

 

You cant search for .exe
