Easiest way I have found to get everything working nicely is to Use Duxa's All in One Installer. (

Once you have run Option 1 load the game using the EQ Emulator Launcher the first time to update all files. After that you can bypass the launcher and run it normally.
Also, if you are running on a multicore system ( this is most new systems ) You need to run only on the first core. I like to use a program called runfirst: download
here and place it in the eq install folder.
Then make a shortcut with the following Info:
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
And run your game form this shortcut each time.
