eqgame.exe crashing

[Valdain]

Hey all, EQ keeps crashing for me during the initial loading screen (the one that takes you to the character select screen). It gets about halfway up, and then the window that says that eqgame.exe has crashed pops up and forces me to quit the game. I haven't done anything with the files, and I've set them all up correctly. I've been playing for a while (played a bard for a while, now i have a level 9 druid).

If it's at all relevant, my client kept crashing after every couple of zone attempts, but I figured that was because everyone was jumping on the server last night, so things were a bit unstable.

Thanks!
