Game crashes when loading character

[Farfr0msane]

A friend is having the same issue. Windows 7, new streaming client, as soon as you click play at the character select screen EQ2 crashes (not responding). Delete the eq2.ini file allowing EQ2 to load default UI and it works great. Any ideas as to what is missing or happening?
(Note: I also had him run both EQ2 and Profit Updater in Admin mode to see if it was a premissions issue, still no love.)

Also, we both had issues with the new streaming client not having an eq2.exe file, see here for more details.
