Thank you, Rhyisa, for the well-written reply. I actually had a simple fix for the issue and I'm kicking myself for not thinking back to my *original* EQ days. I kept the game in WinXP SP3 Compatibility mode and when I got to the screen that normally just hung, I hit ALT+ENTER to window it and I was fine. I go to the options screen, changed the resolution to something a bit more amicable and voila! Game works just fine and is windowed to boot.
