Windows 7 and the eqhost file
 

Im just got a laptop and they come with windows 7 as standard. Im trying to install but i get to the part where i have to replace the login in the eqhost file. I replace it and go to save it, but i get a message saying that access is denied. What do i do?

open it as an administrator

What do you mean by that?

right click the text file and click open as an administrator from the list

also you can move your whole eq folder so that it's just in your c drive and not under the program files. that works too. it's what i did.

that

or you can move the eqhost file to your desktop, it will flag the UAC 'allow/deny' prompt. Allow.

Then you can freely edit the file then copy it back and you're good to go.

I was kind of confused by the whole access denied thing too since I removed read only access from the folder and I am the administrator and in every other folder in program files I don't need to right click run as admin.
