Assertion failure?

I installed TSW yesterday with no problems. However when I click to play on the launcher it automatically crashes and gives me an error message. 

"Assertion Failure

c:dev-envuildranch_tsw_v1.0codeenginecodecorelibr ariescorerenderingguiDXUTStripped.cpp (3338)

DeviceReset callback - 0x80004005"

I tried looking on google and the forums with no luck finding an answer. Does anybody have any idea what this error means? Or possibly a way to fix it?

    Suggest delete client, clean directory and reinstall.

    If the reinstall doesn't clear this up, you might want to submit it as a bug.

     

    The same part of the program had crashing issues in AOC.  (reference)

     

    It looks to be part of the rendering system.

     

    BTW: an assertion is an error test in a program that confirms something is the way it is supposed to be.  If things are not, the assertion fails and throws the error.

    Well, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with a fresh download. It didn't seem to solve the problem. 

    I guess I'll have to submit it as a bug and see what happens.

    Did you try the registry thing linked from XAPGames?

    Just REBOOT after you try it, if you try it.

    EDIT: or look at the virius scanner as it might interfere according to that one post.
