I just recently bought Everquest Plantinum, figuring my month old Toshiba laptop would have no problems running it.
Then when I put the CD in and it's supossed to autorun it never did, Okay, that's fine...but then when I tried to manually run it told me that the files on the CD were not valid Win32 applications or files.
Thinking it might have been the cd I decided to return it and get a new copy that does the same thing.
I also e-mail Everquest tech support and they claimed that the game was deisgned for a desktop computer and might not work with the graphic or sound card. the compatible list was not avalible for me to check, but that shouldn't make a difference in installing the program anyway.
We have tried a few things to attempt to fix this problem as well as update the CD-ROM Drivers but nothing seems to help
I was wondering if anyone else may have had this problem and or possibly knows how to solve it.
Thanks

Just a thought but does that game need a DVD-ROM drive as opposed to a CD-ROM drive?

OP
Yeah other CDs work fine.
Infact Doom 3 works fine on my computer.
But like I said my computer is pretty new so there should be no problems running the game.
I'm looking at the link though thanks
