Resolved**
I'm running windows 7 here for the first time today... and DDO seems to not want to start up the launcher for me. Everytime I start, the launcher gets to the "Getting alerts and news" and it stops, then an error pops up saying "You should ask the Turbine guys about this and tell them this... *bunch of code*" So needless to say, I'm a little confused.
I believe it's just a compatibility issue, but I really hope it gets fixed. Help anyone?
