Okay, I haven't had a crash since installing dgVoodoo and running in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 2 with admin privileges.
The program does look legit and seems to help patch old games to run in newer computers for windows by providing certain graphics DLLs.
I downloaded the zip from here (current version is v2.72):
http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
Then unzip that, and follow the instructions in the in QuickGuide.html.
I ended up moving all 7 .DLL files into my project 1999 game folder and haven't had a crash after camping since.
from the extracted 3Dfx\x86 folder:
Glide.dll
Glide2x.dll
Glide3x.dll
from the extracted MS\x86 folder:
DDraw.dll
D3DImm.dll
D3D8.dll
D3D9.dll
Then in the project 1999 game folder, right click eqgame.exe, go to the compatibility tab, and make sure you have windows xp (service pack 2) and "Run this program as administrator" checked.
