Read this first!", and the appropriate forum for bugs reporting and technical issues, and do no post in general discussions.

Email this log to logs at rogue-factor.com and we'll take a look at it. Please link your post/thread in your email so we can return to it. A DxDiag can also be helpful, and if you managed to take a screenshot that will also help quite a bit.
