Steam Problem With Station Launcher

ShenanigansHD · 02-01-2009, 09:59 PM

Hi guys. I downloaded EQ2: The Rise of Kunark, but it will not work. I click the icon and then it says that the laucher needs administrative privilages. So, I went into task manager and gave the station manager administrative privilages. The problem that I am having NOW is that I cannot even start the launcher up. It says that "the game cannot be played at this time."

I don't understand how to get the station launcher to show up again. How can I get that to work again and also, when I get that back up and working, how do I get administrative privilages for the launcher so it may start. I am using Steam on Vista x64.

The following steps should work around any issues caused by Vista:

1. 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"

Let us know if the issue persists after trying the above.
