Dont know if this has been tried or not but its just another thing those that are having problems can try out , this is from the official SOE Tech forums

Will need to make a point, after following this suggestion, DO NOT attempt to use/go to Full Screen mode until you are completely into game, but even then you may still crash. If so, you will need to play in windowed mode til Devs figure out what they are doing. SMILEY

1. Drill down into Everquest folder, locate and run OptionsEditor.

2. Drill down into Everquest folder, locate and open up to edit eqclient.ini (not eqsclient.ini).

3. In [Default] section, use Find to locate WindowedMode then make sure it is set as WindowedMode=TRUE.

4. And if the line does not exist, insert WindowedMode=TRUE immediately under the [Default] section. This will force all of EQ windows to open up in Windowed mode. (do NOT attempt to alt enter to use Full screen mode, unless you like errors).

5. The scroll down to Video Mode, and replace it with the following lines, making sure to change them to MATCH your current desktop settings (start/settings/control panel/display properties/settings tab). Do not get funny with the settings.

[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1680
WindowedHeight=1050
Width=1680
Height=1050
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60

Save and close. Make sure that your windows Display Properties is set to the same. All of EQ windows will open up in windowed mode. This should allow you to get into game. From within the game, you can attempt to go to Full Screen mode.

Report back success or failure.

Report back your video card (brand/model), monitor, whether it is an LCD or CRT, and the type of connection being used, ie analog (old/regular connection) or DVI-D (wierd/new connection type).

For some this may not work, as they have other issues. But for the record I am on 67 people (I have used a bottle of Tylenol so far) who were not able to get into game and play until they followed the above instructions.

Aye, of those only 5 were able to go into Full screen mode while the others would have EQ crash/error. At the moment they are regulated to windowed mode.
