I had the same issue fresh install would click the shortcut and bam eqgame.exe has encountered a problem. Well after some searching around on the web here is what i think was happening to me. With a fresh install the eqclient.ini only has a couple of settings in it the rest doesn't get added until you actually run the game. I think in my case it was trying to set the video to my current screen resolution 1920 x 1200 which it doesn't support which was causing it to crash. Below is a brief description of how i got mine to stop crashing.
Changed my screen resolution to 1024 x 768 instead of my normal 1920 x 1200. Then click on the shortcut and at the sign on went into options and set eq to run at 1280 x 1024 and finished running through the setup and hit finish now at this point EQ minimized itself (if i remeber right) and i changed my screen resolution back to 1920 x1200 and EQ popped back up in window mode and i haven't had any issues anymore running it.
