I can guarantee you both the issue your having is with the dual core processor. I used to get that all the time and i cannot explain how frustrating it is!
A good fix that i found, which works for me 100% (i have an intel core centrino) is to right click your everquest shortcut, and in the "Target" path, type in: C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /C start /affinity 1 eqgame.exe patchme
and then in your "Start in:" part, either change it to the C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest or wherever EQ is installed (but tbh this should already be correct).
Your shortcut should now appear as a black box with c\ on it, this just means that its running a command instead of directly running the game.
Hope this helps!
