Error 42 code didn't help..BUT I got it fixed!!!!! This shows you how DESPERATE I was to play with EQ6!!! Thanks to someone here saying to google the error code (will only work if you use quotes, BTW)....I found a web site with step by step instructions. I actually got into the bowels of the computer and removed one of those files we were taught to never touch and did a fix!! OH MY GOSH, it worked.......now if you'll excuse me, I'll go play! :) :) :)
thanks everyone!
