Trust me, turn off Xfire if your using Win7 and trying to play STO, It causes STO to crash even before loading the menus, Just in case anyone else is having the same issues......

    Known issue, and it's not just windows 7. I run XP and I have the same problem.

    Possible Xfire causing STO crash

    Just go to xfire/options/games and uncheck the option for STO the "activate ingame menu", then you are fine. so you can run xfire +STO, but the crash of STO is caused by the ingame overlay. so if you uncheck the option, the game runs good, and xfire is able to track you playtime, and showing that you play STO, but no ingame menu.

    its only a workaround.
