If you've got a working install on your other system, copy it over and try it. It will likely crash on launch because of the resolution, so delete (or rename) eqclient.ini and try again.
You're not installing EQ in the default location, right? Move it out of program files...

Original and subsequent installs were into it's own folder, but not under the default in program files. For grins, I did do a default pathing install and saw not difference, good or bad. The program worked exactly the same way, including minimizing at character select when trying log in. The number problems I have had this go-round coming back to P1999 have been a ridiculous, regardless where I install it or what fix I try.
Fighting a Sand Giant and suddenly the screen minimizes to the upper left hand quadrant of the screen, the the entire screen goes black and minimizes to the completely to the task bar. No keys touched. It's not just when fighting a Sand Giant or a one time thing. That's just an example of the crazy.
This morning, I went to change the font size in the eqclient.ini file. Gone. Missing. MIA It's not even in there. No one else uses my laptop. It's not hacked or compromised. It's been off all night. Go figure. The game still starts and plays, such as it has been.
I am going to fire up my old laptop and copy that .ini file to this machine and see what goes on.
