I know when I did a reinstall a while back it wanted to put it under Users/Public, or something weird...but I changed it. I also dont use UAC in windows 7, so maybe that is why I dont have issues. Anyway, back to the original question... ONLY ONLY ONLY place modified files in a custom UI. There is never any reason to put in unmodified files in a custom UI since it pulls that information automatically from Default. __________________ Regards, Drakah shakahr.com *Remember...it is only a GAME*

2.) Create a folder for your new UI (do not put spaces or any other chars that are not alpha numerical) MyUI

3.) Copy your mod UI Files to that folder C:\Program Files\Everquest\uifiles\MyUI

4.) Start eq and go in to options and load your UI

if you get errors like ryokoryu and lawford , its Sony that left out stuff nothing you can change even the default gives this error

Except that it's quite a different path if you're using STEAM. Steam downloads the game into it's own folder. Even if you already have the game installed somewhere else. The Steam UIfiles on my computer went to

C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/everquest/UIFiles...

If you run the game through Steam this is where you will have to put the custom UI folder.

I run mine on a 2nd drive and it installs all of my games into the /steam folder. __________________ Gold: 03/16/99 - 03/15/12 Silver: 03/16/12 - 03/15/18 Done:03/16/18 And with a heavy heart I bid adieu to Everquest Live.
