Changing it only changes the window size, but not what is in the window.
This is peculiar. Resolution both affects the window size (you're saying "play EverQuest in a space X by Y"), but it also affects the size of stuff inside the window (because you're saying "scale the stuff inside that window to X by Y"). But it seems like you changing the resolution only changes the first part.

First, sanity check: can you try fixing the resolution, then restarting your computer and restarting EQ? Sometimes Windows is just weird. If that doesn't help though hopefully someone else will have an idea.

EDIT

I found this thread, which seems to match your "things go black when you go to full screen" behavior: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=76197. Wouldn't hurt to try:

Ok Here is how I fixed it.

I cut my eqclient.ini file out of the directory so it was forced to create a new one. Violia it works. I loaded EQ didnt touch a SINGLE OPTION.

It worked again when I loaded it.

Went into game, changes resolution to native, 1920x1080, reloaded it. WORKED!
(In other words, instead of trying to fix what's broken in your eqclient.ini you can back it up, remove it, then start EQ, which forces it to create a new, not-broken eqclient.ini, and then go from there. Of course you'll lose all your current settings changes, but it might be worth the hassle of having to re-do those changes.)
