EQ Blinks black and closes

[Lumberjack89]

i click on the Everquest shortcut and a black screen appears for a split second and then it goes back to my desktop.

there isn't an error message that pops up either. I've read through a lot of the Frequently asked questions and can't seem to find an answer. I tried to change the settings in the compatibility tab by changing each setting 1 by 1. I've tried to start it in "run this program as an admin". I've made sure the target is "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme.... and that doesn't seem to work. my specs are..
