Mine did that one time. Instead of going through all the BS at SONY, I just unistalled the program, blew the dust off the install cd and started it over. Fixed my problem.
I dont know it will help you but could be worth a try.

Uninstall EQ, delete all the folders, reinstall.

The DirectX Update killed my EQ too. 
I reinstalled and back to normal, I'd hoped a patch would have fixed it, but it didn't. Still trying to get all my setting to the way I like them though.

Hmm..
Okay try these things in this order.
1. Run a Virus Scan on Computer System.
2. Under Everquest Directory:
Delete eqgame.exe file
Delete any file DX8 or DX9.DLL
Disable any firewall you may have up through Software like Mcafee or ZONE ALARM or set it up in those softwares so EQ has ALL ACCESS granted.
3. Upgrade or reload the following in this order on computer:
DirectX 9
Video Drivers (Most Updated)
Sound Drivers (Most Updated)
4. Turn Computer Off Completely.
Wait 10 seconds.
Restart Computer.
5. Make sure the resolution and refresh with video is set same for EQ as it is for WINDOWS in general ie 1024 x 768 and 60 mhz and 16 or 32 bit color.
6. Go to EQ
Let Patcher run.
Then pick ADVANCED and hit COMPLETE FILE CHECK.
Also DO NOT use /q in game to exit as this will bring up that eqgame.exe message that haunts you as of the last big patch. Also when you exit do it in full csreen mode. Work around is when you get to connect screen do ALT TAB, then put in info and hit connect then ALT TAB again for those pesky firewall freezes listed above.
If you are getting the error messages after connecting to game and it appears to be only certain zones delete all those zone files for those zones and again do a COMPLETE FILE CHECK.
If you are getting the error messages when you are trading with someone or using merchants delete everything in your UI folder and any file that has Trade***** in it. Reload a fresh copy of all UI files if they are not EQ default ones. If they were Eq DEFAULT ones then just do a COMPLETE FILE CHECK again after you delete them,. Also another pesky critter that can cause those message are the files in USERDATA directory.
Hope that helps.
