Fixed It
Sorry, but I managed to figure out how to adjust the screen size/mode ("A" in Hollywood's post below), from another post. If you don't want to search forums for "black screen" here's how you adjust screen mode in "EQ ini" file...
Problem: EQ window is black, but still have mouse cursor, sound, and you're not link dead.
**Your in-game Options/Display/Video Modes may be set to a different standard than the eqclient file in your C-drive (or wherever you have the game on your hard drive).
Fix: (Assuming you cannot adjust Options/Display/Video Mode in-game because the screen is black)... use Windows Explorer to go to the location of EQ Emulator's eqclient file. For me it was C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\EverQuest\
Double Left click eqclient file to open it in Notepad
Use tool bar at top to Edit-->Find... type in "[VideoMode]" without the quotes.
You should see something like this:
WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=720
Width=1280
Height=720
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
To fix - I changed WindowedWith=800...WindowedHeight=600...Width=800. ..Height=600.
Re-start computer, then restart game. It fixed my problem.
Error was, in the game I had been messing around with the display settings in (Alt+O) Options/Display/Video Modes. I had changed my screen to 800x600.
After the game was up and running (meaning, the screen wasn't black), I've gone into Alt+O Options/Display/Video Modes and changed my Video Mode back to 1280 x 720 like I prefer. I did not change the eqclient file to reflect this, so I hope there are no conflicts again later.
