Using old version of EQ2

[TheBigOrange]

I downloaded the maps and went through the update. Problem is now when I start the game it doesn't recognize my toons and on the login screen it states Sentinels Fate when I have DoV. I agree to the 2008 terms of the game. My only option then is to create a new toon when I already have a character. I am on AB if that matters.

Also, when I click on the desktop shortcut to launch EQ2 it gives me a line about running it as administrator, then when i go ahead with it I'm logged into the station launchpad instead of the game.

Please help!
