Eqhost.txt problem!!!

[Curmudgen]

Everytime I try to replace the original text with what the directions say to put I get an error.

"Cannot create the C\:Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqhost.txt file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct.

I have no idea what to do.

have you checked that the file is not marked read only? only thing i can think of offhand...

You cannot save files in the Program Files directory without first running the program you're editing eqhost.txt with as an administrator in Vista or Windows 7. To edit this file, go to the start menu, type Notepad in the search box and then right click on Notepad when it appears. Select "run as administrator" and then open the eqhost.txt to edit and save it.

Alternatively, you can temporarily disable User Accounts Control (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/) to edit/save the file without any of the above nuisance.

Or make a new notepad file and drag and drop
