I've downloaded the game recently, and installed it without issue. I created an account on a server and attempted to create my first character. I reach the character creation screen, but the moment I select a race the game crashes, there is an error sound but no dialogue box explaining the issue.

My computer is running Windows 7 64bit (I downloaded the appropriate version of the program)

CPU: Pentium Dual Core Overclocked to 3.0GHz
RAM: 8 GB - DDR2 800
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 250GTS - Drivers updated yesterday.

Any help would be appreciated.
