Can't Get game to start

[Rags_OG]

First time trying to get p99 to work, long time EQ player from long ago. Anyway, i've tried just about everything i can think of and every suggestion i could find on here and no luck. I checked out the dbg file in my folder and it reads as follows:

2019-09-28 18:17:19 Starting EverQuest (Build Oct 31 2005 10:33:37)
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Timezone: UTC-6h00m
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Loading graphics DLL.
2019-09-28 18:17:19 Parsing INI file .\eqclient.ini
2019-09-28 18:17:19 INI file .\eqclient.ini loaded.
2019-09-28 18:17:20 Unable to load EQGraphicsDX9.DLL (126)
2019-09-28 18:17:20
2019-09-28 18:17:21 Initializing timers.

I've tried turning off my firewall and starting and i get the same thing. I also cannot for the life of me find the eqclient.ini file anywhere on my computer, not in the EQ folder or in users/app data. Nowhere.

Open to any suggestions, thanks. I'm running windows 8.1
