Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"</p>

<p>Greetings!</p><p>While the Station Launcher certainly takes being an Admin on your system, you may have better luck with the original EQ2 launcher.  You can find it <a href="http://everquest2.station.sony.com/install/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
