lp_plugin.exe is not working?

[xScooby]

When I start up the launcher, it goes through everything, and once its about to start updating, it says a Microsoft Windows error sign comes up saying "lp_plugin.exe" is not working, I say ok, and the launcher updates a thing or two, and it cancels itself, and when I say download, it cancels again, play doesn't turn red, and heres a few facts about the situation.

-Just downloaded the game on this computer, its also on my laptop, and works fine..

-I have Windows Vista,

-Uhh, I can't think of anything else.

Please help me.

I found out to fix the issue.-Open Control Panel-Go to User Accounts and Family Saftey-Go to User Accounts-Go to you're Account-Click "Turn User Account Control on or off"-Uncheck the box and press Ok-Restart the computer when prompted

BUT There is one downfall, but uplift to some, It doesn't prompt you again about if you grant permission, or something, and the downfall is that this slightly increases the chance of getting some simple threats (wurm, spyware, tracker) or even more threatening threats (trojans, viruses, or something else)

 locate the following files.LP_plugin.exeEQ2.exeEverQuest2.exe

then 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.
