Make sure the files in your /RenderEffects/ corrispond with the correct version of your EQ client.
For example, say you backed up the important EQ patch files (eqgame.exe, eqmain.dll, etc), patched to Live to see what the fancy new water looks like, and then dropped those patch files back in to play on EQemu. Your render effects folder was most likely updated with the latest patch, so you'd also need the files for that folder from the previous patch of EQ. If you don't have those saved, your out of luck.
