Unable to Update EQ2 after installation

[RankOlben]

Hello...I have recently installed Everquest2 on a new notebook. Source has been a retail DVD of Echoes of Faydwer. After the installation procedure EQ2 tried to autoupdate at the first login. This procedure stops repeatedly when "combining delta data" ("Everquest2Patch.txt). The Launchpad itself shows no error message but the update process doesn't go on.When I delete the specific file (1st attempt: eq2_keymap_United States.ini) the program downloads the missing file but stops at the next one. This is not limited to the keymap.ini files. Deleting all keymap files leads to the download of all keymap files and the update process stops at "mssdsp.flt".Any hints on solving this problem? System is Windows XP ProfIn case other infos are needed tell me.Here ist the Patch logfile:[11:52:36] ** Trickle Deselected fileset 'combat-de-vo'[11:52:36] ** BITSONLY Trickle Deselected fileset

Just a small update. I have tried to avoid this problem by starting a complete download of the game. This seemed to work until the download process reached a file that was already present (EQ2settings.exe). So I am again stuck at the process of combining a delta data with the existing file.So I definitely need help as I don't know how to go on...

<p>What OS is the notebook running? </p><p>If Vista</p><p>keep in mind that this helps the MAJORITY of the people, but it may not help everyone with vista.first, locate the following files.LP_plugin.exeEQ2.exeEverQuest2.exethen for each one, right click them and then choose properties. from there you should see a button to "run as administrator" or something similar, i am not at my vista machine, so i cant remember exactly. in that window, look down it, and a little ways down, you will see a checkbox that does the same thing, but when checked, it runs each time the app is run and does not require you to do it each time it is run. also, there is a checkbox for the compatibility options. check that checkbox, and then make sure it is set to windows xp SP2 in the drop down just underneath it. it defaults to xp SP2, but i am just covering all the bases. then, if there is a button at the bottom of the window that says "apply" click it, then click ok. if there is no "apply" button, then just click ok. now, when you run from the shortcut on the desktop, you do not need to set it to run as admin every time you start it, and you should not have the LP_plugin error any longer either.also, it is a good idea to right click the station and EQ2 folders under sony in Program Files, and make sure the folder permissions for read-only is not checked. this will allow the patcher and the launcher to write patches to the folders if patches need to be done. </p>

Is there a fix for this? I'm having the same problem with WinXP Pro.Maybe there is some file the patcher uses to combine files and its corrupt??The worst part for me is that the Launcher refuses to close even if I go into the task manager to end process so every time it tries to combine delta data I have to restart my PC, delete the file it was trying to update and try  patching again...
