Fresh install gives black log in screen?

[Octotron]

Greetings,

I installed and followed the directions as per the site here. When I run eqgame I get a black screen with the arrow cursor from the game on it. I can right click the middle of the screen and get a 4 way arrow. Everything except the cursor is black.

Any idea what might be causing this?

I am running an amd quad core with Windows 7 64.

Thanks for the help!
