Problems starting the game!

Greetings!

I recently downloaded Silkroad to give it a try, and installed it without issue. I downloaded the actual game as well as the patch file. Once the game installed it ran the launcher without error, and began to patch. Since I had the patch file downloaded, I closed the launcher, and ran the patch.

After I ran the patch, anytime I run the launcher, the game immediately crashes. (The launcher pops up, then immediately brings two error boxes up, both of which are Alienware error boxes without any error specific information.)

I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling, I tried rebooting at various times during the installation and such.

Regardless of what I do, if I install the game and run it, the launcher immediately crashes with two error reporting boxes that pop up.

Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks!

It would be helpful if you posted screenshots of your errors, along with general information and details about your pc.

As I stated, there are no errors. It simply crashes, instantly. There's no error window popup, only the Alienware's tech support automatic thing, which doesn't list any information regarding the error itself. Merely my contact information and the program's name (Silkroad, of course.)

I can see the launcher, and then before it does anything, it crahses and comes up with the two automatic support things. No actual error boxes or anything.
