Since SOE/Daybreak offers a free client download the DoV installation can be installed to any location on the hard drive. The recommend, and used for this tutorial is C:\EQ2Emu Clients\DoV. This will make it easy to find the client as well as allow for a main location for multiple client versions.

Question: I can't move my "Bottomless Bag of Envy" window, (The huge backpack alpha testers start off with), the backpack is too large to fit on my screen and I can't access the top to move it.

Answer: Move your mouse to the side of the backpacks window until you see the arrow which allows you to make the window wider. Drag the window much wider than it is (20 slots wide probably works) then right click on the window. Select Window settings and then click on the default location button. This will move the window further down in the screen. From there you can adjust the window size to your liking.
