This solution to this is actually very simple. Go to your EQ folder. Find the file eqclient.ini and open it in a text editor (i use notepad, its the simplest to use)

hit ctrl+f, type windowedwidth, you should see something like this:

WindowedWidth=1280
WindowedHeight=768
Width=1280
Height=768
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=1280
HeightWindowed=768


change it to this:

WindowedWidth=800
WindowedHeight=600
Width=800
Height=600
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WidthWindowed=800
HeightWindowed=600

I'm using 800 x 600 here, but you may need to fiddle with that a bit. If 800 x 600 isnt working, try using your monitors native resolution instead. Eventually, you will get a combination that works, just keep trying.

Im guessing you already tried this as well, but since you didn't mention it, I thought i'd post it anyway.

Please let me know if it's still not working and I'll give you some other solutions. Please try as many hxw (resolution) combos as possible before reposting, because 99% of the time this is the problem. Try low resolutions (640x480) as well as your monitors native resolution (usually the setting you are running your desktop in). Try as many combinations as you can before reposting, because again, 99.9999% of the time this is the issue.
