I can't log in. Selecting a character brings me back to the Log In screen

[SOLVED]

I can't log in. I select a character and it sits there loading for 5 minutes and then brings me back to the Log In screen. I thought it was a problem with the zone my race starts in (Dark Elf) so I tried making a character of another race (Wood Elf) and got the same problem.

Edit: Also EverQuest wont go out of Windowed mode into Full Screen mode. I try hitting alt-enter and it works for a bit but then it goes back into Windowed mode. I wouldn't mind Windowed mode so much if it didn't try to fill the whole screen. My desktop resolution is 1280 x 1024 and it causes the game to run quite slow. I tried editing an ini file but it didn't help.
