I am now suffering from this issue as well 
The one thing I would add is that I have managed to successfully get the client to load by forcing it to run in 640x480 resolution (under properties) but I couldn't do anything (couldn't see the options when I opened the options window because it was off screen). I managed to log in with some lucky tab presses, but couldn't get past the character select screen.... 
Edit: Whose going to man up and be the one to reinstall windows?

UPDATE:
I've managed to get EVE up and running, if you force eve to run in 640x480 (as I described above), and you are crafty, you can change over to fullscreen mode (from windowed, which seems to be the only mode effected). Once in fullscreen you can change back to windowed it works.
After closing the client, I was able to run it again successfully (came up in windowed mode) but once I tried loading a second client at the same time I was unable to do so (it crashed). The window that I already had running was unaffected, but when I closed it and tried to re-open it..... it just crashed.
I tried repeating the process and while I can now get it to run in windowed by loading it in 640x480, changing to fullscreen and then changing back to windowed (it doesn't revert back to 640x480 btw), when I try to run it again; it just crashes (not the same as hanging which is what it was doing when I posted my first message)....

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I think that issue can be resolved with deleting the cache files. but my client will not load still.
I reinstalled and deleted my cache files before I did anything. When you say its not working for you; do you mean that it doesn't come up when you force it to 640x480?
One quick tip that should help get around something I was struggling with for a while;
Once you manage to select fullscreen in the options menu, hit tab so that the next box is selected and hit escape, the settings should kick in without hitting Apply

I've just managed to recreate the issue on a PC that was running the game properly previously. The issue seems to originate (at least for me) when you attempt to run two clients in windowed mode after the last patch.... after trying that the first time on two seperate PCs I have been unable to load even one windowed mode client without first starting it in Full Screen or using the work around above....
