Windows 7 and the eqhost file

[alWald0]

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?

What do you mean by that?

[Drieddead]

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.

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.
