@xiolar Try killing CTF Loader in the Task Manager before opening DDU. The worst that would happen is you might need to reboot your computer.
@puzzlezaddict Apologies for my late reply. I've done as described above and here is the error messaged I found:

I also received another error at the same time I opened windows? It was titled:

Sorry for the weird formatting.
@xiolar Don't worry about the late reply, and the formatting is normal. The first entry is a breakpoint error and could be related to your computer's graphics driver, although breakpooint errors do have other causes. The second is definitely related to the graphics driver. So that's the place to start: with a clean uninstall and reinstall of the driver. Here's how:
You can download a fresh copy of the newest Nvidia driver here:

If you get another crash, please provide this same info.
@puzzlezaddict Thanks for your continuous help, by the way. I've looked through both links but I encountered yet another problem when re-installing the graphics driver. Unfortunately, when I launched Windows into safe mode, I was unable to open the Display Driver Uninstaller.
It had the error message: "The file cannot be accessed by the system." and it seemed like an easy solution but when I tried launching the application as administrator it still had the same error. There was also a popup that kept coming up and saying:
"System error - ctfmon.exe - The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application." I'm so sorry I keep encountering problems
