if you've managed to run any version of EQ on the machine you're having issues with, you've never mentioned it once in this thread, so claiming to have said "I am playing EQ1 just fine right now" is a bit of a stretch.

I have not tried older clients as I bought a new computer since playing on EQemu and installed RoF just now.

that indicated to me that you'd never run EQ on the computer you're having issues with. if the new computer doesn't have the directx 9.0c components required to run EQ (which are not included with directx 11, nor are they installed via the steam download), you'll need to install them. it doesn't require a downgrade of your installation of directx, nor will it cause you any issues with your directx. all of that information is located in the links i provided.
