Autorun/Launcher encounters an error, and won't run sins.

My Sins of a solar empire won't launch at all. Every time i try and launch it, i get an error saying Sins of a solar empire autorun/launcher has encountered an error and needs to close. I dont understand why this happens. I know my computer can definately run the game, even on the highest settings as I have played it in the past, but only recently tried to install it again. I hope this technical jargon can help someone, as it is i am searching for a larger explanation, but I would sincerely appreciate any help.

This is the error data:

AppName: sins_launcher.exe     AppVer: 1.0.0.0     ModName: dxaxhost.dll
ModVer: 3.5.0.0     Offset: 00021371
