That's really strange.
I'm going to ask for the usual things.
Reboot, Verify, reinstall.
You might have gotten your settings corrupted. In that case, delete settings.bak and settings.dat and try to run it.
Try running the executable directly:
..\Starward Rogue\StarwardRogue.exe
Can you also give me the log files?
They are in ...\Starward Rogue\RuntimeData
Files are ArcenDebugLog.txt, DrawGameErrors.txt, ErrorsReportedByEngine.txt, and anything else with .txt or .log in it.
