issues with ui

[Roscoe]

The first time I installed everquest:secrets of fadwer from disks and made the necessary file changes, everything worked flawlessly, except the high pass zone and spell icons that didn't match the spell.
Then I met someone who told me how to get the Titanium expansion from torrents. I uninstalled everquest and tried the torrent download, but for whatever reason, I could not get it to work. So I once again installed SoF from disks but now I am having problems I didn't have the first time.
When I add the files from "eqchangesv3" it asks if I want to replace files, same as the first time. I applied "yes to all". Now when I add files from "uichangesv2" into uifiles/default folder, it asks me if I want to replace files. It didn't do that the first time. The "uichangesv2" just went in the first time. If I apply "yes to all" it gives me ui errors and won't run everquest at all. If I choose not to apply the "uichangesv2" , I get other odd issues, mainly ending up in the arena when I die.

I'm not a technical guy, but the only thing I can think of is when I uninstalled everquest, it gave me a message that the program wanted to change something in startup registry with the options to allow or block. I allowed it, as I trust everquest. Just mentioning this in case it has something to do with it. Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Repeat everything you did, except to a different folder that isn't C:\Program Files.

I reinstalled everquest:secrets of fadwer to C:/everquest, instead of in program files and I am still having the same issue. The uichangesv2 still asking if I want to replace files. If I do, the game doesn't work. If I do not, the game works but has issues. Any ideas on how to fix this?

are you extracting the uichangesv2 or copying and pasting? If you are extracting them, try just dragging them to the folder instead.
