*I know this is the wrong Section, I didn't see a subforum for General CrossFire

I just reinstalled CrossFire because I screwed up my other installation. I start CrossFire and the launcher comes up, I press Start Game and the patcher process (patcher_cf.exe) starts in Task Manager, except no windows appear at all, not even on the Applications tab in Task Manager. I tried starting the CrossFire exe directly and after the anti-hack starts the CrossFire process closes...

Anyone have any ideas as to why it hates me?
