first question... did you COMPLETELY remove the old install? i ask this because we get millions of posts about similar issues when people reinstall and it usually comes down to several possibilities every time:
1) using Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs leaves behind some files. you have to completely trash the EverQuest folder. anything less invites hours of pain and suffering
2) directX can be FUBARed sometimes when installing/reinstalling. if you reinstalled your vid driver, reinstall directX 9.0c (not a or b, c is the only version i know of that works)
hope this helps
