Default WinEQ2 failed to attach

I just got a new computer and can not get Everquest to run. When launching via WinEQ2 I get an error that says "WinEQ 2 was able to launch eqgame.exe, but was unable to attach to it". If I try to run Everquest via the Launch Titanium.bat I get a black screen after login.

I read that it could be another program attaching itself to eqgame.exe but I am not sure how to find out. Can anyone help?

Default SOLVED

I solved the issue. It was my kaspersky antivirus blocking something despite adding wineq, eqgame.exe and everquest.exe to the exclusion list. If anyone else has this happen I used Sysinternals Process Explorer to find the culprit. I ran process explorer as admin, searched for eqgame.exe and was able to see the files currently bound to it.
