I can't confirm that I have ever heard of anyone successfully getting a server to run on Vista, and my bet is that the OS is your main problem.
The next thing you need to do is open a command prompt and go to your eqemu directory and run the world.exe there. Then, post whatever errors you get from there to here. If it isn't Vista at fault, then it is probably your mysql database connection. Being unable to connect to the database is the most common reason that window will pop up and close. Running the world.exe from the command prompt will keep the window open so you can actually read the error.
