Launcher doesn't run properly

When I run the STO launcher, nothing happens. It shows up in the Processes section and drains my memory, but nothing in the Application tab. If I run it a few times, they start to stack up in the Processes, until one finally decides to open up a Cryptic Error box, telling me that I have the 4544685 error.

100114 05:52:33 1 MasterControlProgram[1]: OLE failed to initialize: 80010106
100114 05:52:33 2 MasterControlProgram[1]: Shutting down from fatal error "OLE failed to initialize: 80010106"
100114 05:52:36 1 MasterControlProgram[1]: OLE failed to initialize: 80010106
100114 05:52:36 2 MasterControlProgram[1]: Shutting down from fatal error "OLE failed to initialize: 80010106"


That's what the error textpad shows me. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I had the same issue.

    100120 03:37:41 1 MasterControlProgram[1]: OLE failed to initialize: 1
    100120 03:37:41 2 MasterControlProgram[1]: Shutting down from fatal error "OLE failed to initialize: 1"

    I tracked it down to the parental control software Net Nanny by Content Watch. Everything started working after I uninstalled the software. The launcher would still not run when the Net Nanny was only disabled. I even put the launcher in as an application exception to the parental contol, but still the launcher crashed each time. This is a problem since I need the parental controls for my kids.

    I am having the same exact issue. I uninstalled Net Nanny and the launcher went back to working. Reinstalled Net Nanny and the launcher fails each time.

    Yes, Net Nanny is causing the launcher to fail. You'll need to figure out how to allow STO to work with Net Nanny or uninstall it. You might want to contact them for support if you want to keep it on the PC.
