<p>new computer, dad and I built it, with windows home premium edition. i bought an EQ2 retail that included the first three expansions as well, however DISC ONE came in scratched up, and the computer could not read it. so instead i downloaded the installer via <a href="http://www.everquest2.com/install" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.everquest2.com/install</a> and punched in the accnt key from the retail box i bought. </p><p>here's the problem: </p><p>when the patcher would first run, it would tell me the whole download would be anywhere from 8-10 hours. about an hour into the download, the patcher would suddenly say "Download Cancelled" after a particular file was finished. In the most recent case, it was "Char_ECA1.vpk" Last time it was something along the lines of Orcish Wastes.vpk or something like that.</p><p>did some research for a while here in the forums and i tried many different solutions to similar problems I found (and failed everytime) THIS IS WHAT I TRIED:</p><p>-disabling UAC -Right-clicking the EQ2.exe, launchpad.exe, and lp_plugin.exe files and clicking "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" for each.. the "run this program as an administrator" box is grayed out, i'm guessing, because I am the administrator. -Rebooting, reinstalling, etc etc i've done it all -Doing a 'clean' bootup (clicking off load start up items under MSCONFIG) and rebooting -Disabling Windows Firewall </p><p>No luck, i dunno wat to do. HELP thanks </p>
