Ive been playing on an older computer 32-bit/XP, Im now trying to install it on my 64-bit/Windows 7 and have run into a couple of issues. I think they are all resolved except for this final error I get when I first start up the game.
EverQuest:Windows - Application Error
The instruction at 0x1000f0ce referenced memory at 0xfffffffc. The memory could not be read.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Open your eqclient.ini file and set the full and windowed resolutions to 640X480 and then log in and change the resolution.

Most likely you are having a resolution or drivers issue. Try adjusting your EQ or Desktop Resolutions or updating your video drivers. It may just be that EQ is trying to start in a resolution that it does not support. If setting your desktop to 1024X768 does not work, then you may need to set it in your eqclient.ini. There should be a file named OptionsEditor.exe in your Everquest folder. Open that program and set your resolution to 1024X768 and see if that helps. If not, run it again and try other resolutions. Once you have it working, you should be able to adjust your resolution from in game and then /camp out to save the new settings.
Another possible resolution to this issue is sometimes to try another video card driver for your video card. You may want to try using an older driver or newer one to see if that makes a difference. You may need to run a driver cleaner application when installing your new (or old) video card drivers, depending on the instructions for changing drivers on your specific video card.
If none of the above resolves your resolution, crash, or lockup problems, try the suggestions below:
Right click on your Everquest icon and go under compatibility mode. There is a checkbox for "runs in 640x480 resolution". Click this. It does not mean the game will run in 640x480 but the intro screen will. Without that one checked, you may not even be able to get into the game.
Now, change these under your video mode. If EQ starts in windowed mode, or if the character select is in windowed mode do this; center the windowed mode window up on your screen, to where it covers the entire screen. Now Hit ALT-ENTER and you will go full screen before you go into the game. Only then enter the world, not in windowed mode. The reason for this is if you go full screen it sometimes crashes and I would rather crash before my character enters the world.
Make a copy of your eqclient.ini then delete what you have under the video mode section and change it to this:
[VideoMode]
Width=1920
Height=1200
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=60
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1200
