open,screen turns black,and nothing...
 

First let me start by saying very excited about playing eq again,thank you for running this. My problem is when I go to start the game my screen turns black for about 10 seconds i see the eq pointer for a second then my desktop comes back. I have tried all the work arounds on the FAQ and compatibility mode as well. My computer is quad core, GTX 260, on win 7. I am thinking it could be a video card driver and who knows what else. If anyone is running the same card can you let me know what driver your using. I appreciate any help, thank you.

Just tried the other fixes for dual/quad core as well still same problem.

Try the resolution fixes in the FAQ. Normally when you can't even open EQ at all, it is either a resolution issue, or maybe DirectX or driver issue.

Im thinking my driver or dx. I tried the reso fixes but nothing works. My dx is 11 and my vc is GTX260 with the driver being 8.16.11.9107 . So if anyone is running the game with this card could you let me know your dx & driver #'s pls

Updated my driver to 197.45 still no go
