No Video in Nek Help!

[Jumjum]

Everytime I zone into Nek Forest one of two things happen. I am either underground or the screen is a dark grey. I can see other peoples characters in the nothingness and run away but they are all over the screen. Other people tell me they can see me just standing there. Is there anything I can do to fix this short of a fresh install just because I had a hell of a time getting this game and installing the patches as I cannot find the link that gets me to the DL of th EQ EMU updater I usually have to patch myself. Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated please.
