What software are you running???? It might be your virus protection. You might want to check that option on their website:

I googled and it looks to me as if this is not easy but rather your operating system software. You may need to get help from Microsoft assuming that is your system's software. Google the error to see if the info online matches what you are experiencing.

Call the EQ people. They are supposed to have good technical support.

googled the error and it doesnt seem to be common :S I am running Windows 7 because I refuse to upgrade and I have disabled all antivirus and firewalls...

Calling might be a bit expensive as I am in the UK

You can email their tech support. Maybe they can straighten it out quickly so you can start playing.

Hate to say it, might be your operating system. I'm still running Windows 7 as well (for the same dinosaur reasons you are). I have EQ5 and it was glitchy to re-install on that OS and still is when I use it. Hopefully the folks at EQ are able to help you.
