That sounds like it has something to do with either your direct x installation (i think the minimum for EQ is 7.0) or your video card installation.  In either case I would recommend updating/reinstalling both direct x and your video card drivers.  See if that helps.  If not, run the eqemu patcher, that seems to fix many problems.
