This thread is VERY old and most of the previous issues with DX9 games were resolved in Vista SP1.
EQ patches have even resolved some of these old issues. In fact last LU(49) even adds dual core support.
The issue you described is likely a corruption in the launchpad. I've had this a few times in the past (eg even before Vista). Unfortunately, the only permanent fix was reinstalling EQ2 after uninstall,defrag and manual registry cleanup.
I always found that launching the EverQuest2.exe after the launchpad crashed worked to get me to play.
