Did you try completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game? Were any patches applied? Can you open up the Launcher and try the game in software or D3D mode?
 
i've tried reinstalling yes, and i can't run it in either soft or d3d,

and patches ihaven't dled any, i have no idea where to go. i've tried looking on wcnews.com but to no avail.

It still sounds like a corrupt installation to me. I'd completely uninstall and try to get any remnants out of your registry before reinstalling. Alternately, something else you have installed is causing a conflict. After doing a fresh installation, make sure as many background problems as possible are shut down before starting the game.

You should register for Crius.net so you can go back and edit in information to your posts.

This would be more useful if it was a screenshot of the error report that your image says you can look at by clicking the link.

Also a list of system specs, and programs you have running in the background would be helpful.

In both those screenshots there are scroll bars. That is not the entire message. It actually seems like there might be quite a bit you didn't paste. Can you just copy the text and post it here? Deleting all temp files and making sure prophecy.exe isn't running partially in the background might help too.

i can't uh, copy and paste.

Why not? Try Highlighting it and go Ctrl+C

If you have to do it in parts, paste it into notepad and then paste the whole thing here. If you can't, read it and tell us anything that looks remotely relevant.

On the "Error report contents" window, left-click on the bit where it says "Exception information".

Then hold the mouse button and drag it down until it scrolls and goes to the end of the message. You'll see the entire message being highlighted.

Press the Ctrl and C keys at the same time.

Open a notepad window, and press the Ctrl and V keys. The contents should then be copied.

Include the full contents in your next post :)

Edit: AD you beat me to it, heh
 
^ ~~~ i know HOW to, it just won't let me, it won't give me that that "I" looking thing when i try to highlight the letters.

Edit: ok so you know how on the error reports, it says the following files will be in this error report, i opened it and this is what i found

Doesn't make any sense to me.
 
Try a manual install. Copy over these files and then apply the Maximum Installation registry patch in our Files section.
