Are you running Win98 or Win98se? If so I think the black screen is a common problem. I tried that last week and had a black screen..I noticed in the most recent patch that SOE mentioned an issue like that and that it was fixed so It wont be fixed for eqemu yet..
For the XML error..Did you use system restore at all? If so then just ignore the error but you wont be able to use the Merchant windows..I get that same error now since I used system restore to play eqemu after I foolishly patched.
