can't enter game, continuous reloading UI

[dagiffy]

I have nightfall fetish and eq2map on my home computer and so now I've bought a laptop and am trying to get that stuff on the laptop also. I've installed everything (so I think) the same way.

The problem is that the game loads normally, nf fetish ui screens show up on the loading times, and just as the time comes when otherwise I'd enter the game and start to play THEN the whole thing starts over, this time with the default UI that the game came with. When this loads up and it's time to enter the game, it does the same thing. Starts over and reloads everything with the default.

The result is that I can't enter the game but endlessly load up. The first time with nightfall fetish, every time after that with default ui. Can anyone give me a hint as to what's going on here? Thanks!
