Ok i dont really want to type this but... here you go
Make sure of the following:
~you have the latest version (12012002)
~you have copied and pasted the offsets from the "12-05 offsets" link in this forum into the file called "eqgame.ini" in your macroquest directory.
~you renamed macroquest.ini.dist to simply macroquest.ini
~you go into your program files/sony/EQ trilogy folder, right click on the "eqgame.exe" file and then choose "properties". Es tut mir leid, dass ich diese Worte kennen nicht auf Deutsch. In that "properties" area, you'll see "date created" and "date modified". Make sure that the time and date listed next to "date created" exactly matches the date and time listed at the top if the "eqgame.ini" file in your macroquest directory. If it doesn't match, MAKE it match.
~save everything, double click on "macroquest.exe" and then start EQ.

Do all that and then tell us what happens. Wenn es passt nicht, sag etwas....MacroQuest muss Arbeit!

Hehe, and you said your english was bad. Look at my german? Und...wenn du Frage hast, probeir doch mal auf Deutsch, ich brauche den ubersetzpraxis.

If you have done all of that correctly it *should* work, may b a few things stoping it but make sure u do that.... Offsets is a big one in my opinion just make sure you got the most rescent ones

and downloaded the latest active perl
Get 5.6 and your problems will be gone would be my bet. 5.8 doesnt work with Mquest from my experience.
