Try this

keep in mind that this helps the MAJORITY of the people, but it may not help everyone with vista.first, locate the following files.LP_plugin.exeEQ2.exeEverQuest2.exethen 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.

I was having the same problem with Vista even running as administrator. I was using firefox as my default browser and after I switched it back to IE it connected and updated just fine.

The patcher utilizes API's from IE to run, it does not need to be the default browser, but it does need to be set to work online (no check mark in front of work offline) and all patches up to date on it.

Well I just got my new computer with all the power I need. Of course it came with vista. Now that I've decided to revisite norath thanks to the reactiviation of my account ect I've installed the game just to get the "Images Could Not Be Loaded" message. The thing that really bugs me is that I've tried everything thats been mentioned on this thread and for some reason its not fixing my problem at all. It's rather frustrating so if anyone else knows about any other fixes that would be great. It's rather odd to me that it wont run even when in XP SP2 compatability mode. Anyway I look forward to hearing back from you all.

Oh and by the way the folders Everquest 2 and Station are do have the "read only" clicked. Everytime I hit apply and then ok it acts as if the change happened but when I go back to the properties the folders are still read only. Any ideas on whats going on there...it seems to be my biggest lead on what seems to be causeing the problem.

joeymonkey,

i found the others advice of "admin" helpful....that solved my ability to "run" game....are you having issues with downloading? that image not found using the install link?

i couldnt get around that. not even selecting "admin". i had to load a version from a disk. and then select "admin" and then it was playable.

hope this helps. (hope you still have a disk laying around)
