Your client offsets are off. Mouseover the MQ icon in the taskbar once and share what the tooltip says. :)

If it doesn't read
MacroQuest [MQ-20020726 w/ patch for 20020814]
then you definately don't have the latest offsets. They can be downloaded here and must be placed in the MQ-20020726 folder, where MacroQuest.exe lives. Then exit/reload MQ, and try EQ again. It should work after that.

Cheers.

A quick glance shows both of our files to be identical, except for a one second difference on the client version.

I was playing around earlier tho, and a few things to note... a macro that I had been running just fine in EQW in the old UI in F10/Fullscreen mode refused to run if I opened EQ normally (ie, not in EQW).

Also, I have... issues... with commands not running or causing crashes with the NewUI (yes, yes, I know new UI support isn't in, I had forgotten to turn it back off and I thought I'd try to play with a few commands) However, when running in EQW, in the old ui, and in fullscreen/f10 mode, I havn't had any problems at all. *shrug*

I am of no use to you anymore at this point. Sorry.
