I am not finding any help file on how to use this software so bear with my newbieness.
  1. I bought the software and installed it
  2. I downloaded and installed the Everquest 2 plugin
  3. In the Options screen I selected the EverQuest II config
  4. I pressed the "Play" button in XU
  5. When I get into Everquest I see a yellow "XUnleashed" in the top left of my screen but that's it
  6. I see instructions to press ctrl-insert-1 but that doesn't bring up any window at all for me
Here is a cut-and-paste from the log file...

Code: Select all

I dont' see such a thing. I do see something like a 1 pixel tall grey line across the bottom of my screen. Is that something?

I got it to work by restarting everything.. not sure what the issue was.

PROTIP: Creators of this fine software might add a quickstart guide for the clueless such as myself. Not some web page but something in the Manual tab that gives you the steps. Things like selecting the Configured For... aren't intuitive.
