Let me guess, you installed EQ in the directory C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)?

Every time you move your UI windows around in-game, EQ remembers this by overwriting data in your UI_character_project1999.ini file.

Putting your EQ folder in Program Files or Program Files (x86) introduces a lot of issues with EQ having the right permission to overwrite files.

You should instead simply install it directly into the C:\ directory like so: C:\Sony\Everquest.

Alternatively, you keep your directory where it is and right-click "Run as Administrator" each and every time you play EQ.

This was the fight answer - moved the folder out of Programs (x86) to just the main drive menu and everything works great now. Thank you kind sir.

You can modify the shortcut so it launches in admin mode so you don't have to right click each time:
