they decided to screw up the getting started guide a while ago, right click on the eqgame.exe and create a shortcut, right click on the new shortcut and go to properties, in the "target" you need to add "patchme /affinity 1" after eqgame.exe (if you have a single core processor then just patchme is fine)
target should look like this:
C:\(everquest path)\eqgame.exe patchme /affinity 1
