Unable to connect to server

[shams]

Hey all,

I posted this same thing in my other thread about playing off of files copies from a thumb drive. I'm having no luck connecting to the p99 server after having copied and pasted my files from my thumb drive which are in the exact same configuration as they are on my home PC which runs p99 with no issues.

Sorry to take up space, I just wanted to make sure this got some visibility since it was at the bottom of my thumb drive thread. Here's my last post from my other thread:

Alright, so I have a new question.. I copied my EQ files that I use on my home PC onto a thumb drive along with the shortcut I use at home to launch the server selector. This morning when i got to school, I copied and pasted everything over so that it mirrors (at least I'm 99.9% positive...) where/how I have my files set up at home when I play p99. When I go to log in however, I keep getting an error saying that a connection to the server couldn't be made. Also, I tried using the EQemu launcher after using Duxa's AllInOne installer and I essentially get the same error there.

Also, when I close the EQemu launcher it tells me that it could not write the config file and to please check access to C:\Program Files(x86)\Sony\Everquest\eqemulauncher.xml.
Below that it tells me that access to the same path mentioned above was denied.

Again, I'm not the most computer savvy person so I'll keep looking around for a solution, but in the mean time if something comes to mind, please throw me a bone

Thanks for all the help thus far, I love the p99 community. Nine times out of ten people rush to help each other out.

Edit: my shortcut that I'm using does have the patchme line added to it and I am running Windows 8 (I know).
