Failure to bypass Movie or Uninstall

[Foxclaw]

I started playing again recently.

Two days ago, downloaded the game trail, enjoyed it and decided to get back into the swing of things and purchased a new account etc.  I redownloaded the launcher due to the trial one not being able to go to US servers, and started playing on US servers.

Had fun, much enjoyment, called it a night.  This morning, I go to my computer and try to start EQ2 and, after I click play, the computer brings up the movie screen, than it flashes a few times, and the black screen fades and I am on my desktop with the EQ2 mouse.

Tried Bypassing the movie, didn't work

Tried deleteing every .ini file in my EQ2 directory.  This worked at first, but when I changed the resolution to 1440 x 900, it required my game restart, I restarted the patcher, followed by the play button, and I once again encountered the problem of the movie screen wiggen out.

Tried uninstalling the game, to do a fresh install via downloader.  When I try to Uninstall the game from add / Remove programs, it just sits at about 2% for over an hour and never moves.  Never gives me a "Not Responding" condition on the System Manager also.

Any ideas?

You can actually disable the movie manually in the ini files.  If you open up your Everquest 2 folder you will see a file named eq2_recent.ini.  About 10-15 lines down you should see a line that says:

cl_movie_enabled true

Change it to say

cl_movie_enabled false

That should force the game to skip the movie.
