new UI problem on re-log

[sorinth]

well, here is some follow up

This morning, I am getting different behavior than last night...
this is what is happening,
when the UI wont load on starup, no UI will load. Only default. Last night, I was able to fix the issue by re-installing profit. This morning, however, that is not correcting the problem.
I know that the eq2.ini is able to be read, becuase eq2map shows the correct ui folder as profit. In addition, the opening screen where it says finding character, has the blue metalic background that was just released in profit. However, once it gets in game, its just default items, locations, and colors.
I have also did a file by file compare of the contents of the zip file to the contents of the ui folder. all dates, times, and file names match up. So, nothing is being changed (unless something is corrupted). I tried a scandisk and it found no problems. I will try a defrag and see what happens, but I dont expect much.
Nothing I can do gets them back. I havent tried this on the other machines that I have it installed on. Just my main. BTW, OS is win2k professional so there isnt any permission problems like the vista people are having.
