Plz help a noob, still seeing a "replace the spells file" message when logged in
 

I went through and did all the modifications that the "Getting Started" page had me do, and logged in and everything went fine until I came to the character select screen which told me I needed to update my spells file. I re-dled and extracted to everquest file, and the same message applied. I saw an earlier fix with this problem but couldn't get anywhere with the answer, am I just a retard?

(should be right under the welcome section)
Look for:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch contains a new spells file. Please obtain the latest "EQChangesV11" from the setup guide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

click on EQchangesV11 to download and extract what you downloaded into your EQ folder.

if you are still having issues, look in my signature for an automated way to install the spellfiles.

I tried both suggestions, and still no improvements...
For duxa's, it asks me where I want to install the update, I just install into the open EQ file, correct?

yeah, I did all of that, and it still says the same thing

Make sure EQ is not in Program Files, if it is, just drag and drop the folder to C:\Everquest. Then try again.

And yes for the installer just point it to EQ directory. it will give you an error if you point it to the wrong place.

I got it fixed, a small variation in extracting technique, thank you for the tips, whether they worked or not. :D
