Give me a minute, I am trying to use 7zip instead of the Firefox extractor, that might have been my issue =)  I will let you know and thanks for the response!

EQ is an older game, and requires DX9.0c (this version is best (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109)). Make sure you have this installed.

7Zip should extract them fine
make sure you have direct9c installed and uptodate
run thr option editor, in the eq folder, and set resolution. to something like 800x600, then change in game, if it loads )

It was because I did not use 7-zip, it is working fine now!  Thank you all for the help!
