EQII Application not seem to be running

[Lakland]

<p>Well it's been several days now since I was able to play/log on</p><p>1. Windows 7 and the last Windows 7 update that may be related to the time frame (Friday the 17th)</p><p>2. Log in launcher is ok, but when it's time to launch, I do not see the EQ application appear in the bar below (it usually does)</p><p>3. Then the launcher which says "Launching" finishes and returns to saying "Launch Game"</p><p>4. The EQ2 application I see in the Task Manager process tab, but does nothing, never launches, ALso to note I cannot end the process either</p><p>5. If I try "Launching Game" again, it does not work and just adds another EQ2 application in the process tab of Task Manager</p><p>6. I tried rebooting the router/modem, no luck</p><p>7. I tried launching the application directly from the folder, same results</p><p>Help would be greatly appreciated</p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>It sounds like you may have security software on your system that is preventing the game from launching correctly.  If you do have any type of firewall/security software please be sure that the following files are not being blocked.  </p><p>launchpad.exe (EQ2 Streaming Client)stationlauncher.exe (Station Launcher)everquest2.exe (EQ2 game client)</p><p>If you have these files listed as an exception in your firewall, try removing and re-adding them. </p>

<p>Tried what you suggested...no change, cannot launch the application</p><p>Diabled all firewalls...no change, cannot launch application</p><p>All I know is that it worked fine for on this new PC running Windows 7 for 8 months, and now it doesn't launch.</p><p>This may have been after a Windows 7 update, but cannot be certain of that.</p><p>Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>I haven't heard recent comparability issues with Windows 7 updates and EverQuest II.  You may want to consider performing a system restore prior to the update to see if you can get in.  </p>
