I'm wondering what / how you installed - did you go to this link
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...indowsServer70
and followed the step-by-step instructions?

Yes, followed those directions. I think figured out the problem though. I hadn't patched anything. But, now I'm getting a new error. It is telling me "d3dx9_30.dll" was not found. I noticed that isn't one of the required .dll files--any ideas know?

Thanks!

NM, found out the answer to that myself.

Welcome to the eqemu project. You will find alot of helpful people here, but at the same time alot of getting the emulator up and going will fall upon your own knowledge of how your computer works, and troubleshooting as you go. I myself have wracked my brain on many occasions trying to figure out a problem , when in the end , the answer was something simple I had overlooked. When in doubt , do two things : Reboot ! and consult the wiki! If you have a question about a problem , please be fair and try to include as much info as possible. The logging system is very nice ,and definitly helps in diagnosing whats going wrong.
Good luck with your emu.
