Help I can't get it started

I had a weird issue with my game client last night where an error box with all but english symbols popped up after I clicked start in my game client. There would be two boxes one yes and one no. I clicked no every time.
I decided that uninstalling and reinstalling the game would fix this. I have since been unable to start my game client. I have done several full system scans with AVG and Adaware to no avail.
I can get the update box and it tells me that an update is available so I proceed to start the process and the window closes. I have tried manually patching this and again the same thing happens.
I have even gone to my school where it is firewalled so it can't check for the updates automatically. It was fully up to date and I clicked start then the box went away and nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I'm going to need some more information from you. Go to Start, click on Run (or Search if using Vista), and type in dxdiag and press enter.
Click on the Display tab, and then post here everything in the Device and Drivers boxes:

Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I may have figured out a way around it; I disabled Ad-Watch Live and tried entering the client box and updating, and it started (it is currently updating). My Ad-Aware seems to think that the updates are or have malicious intent. I have done what you told me to anyway.
Here is what it says(I don't know how to show it like you did):

*No problems found.
The only differences between what mine showed and what yours does it that under DirectX Features mine does not have any of the buttons that say Disable or Test DirectDraw or Test Direct3D, therefor also not having the other bullet points in Notes .
I thank you again for your time.0 -
