As soon as I try to enter game - I get in queue and then I click enter and get "Unexpected Windows Error." Any tips? Thanks.

Now it says: "Error launching - insert the diskette for drive."
Diskette!? Like a floppy!?!?

It could mean your hard drive by the term disk. It sounds like you are having some hard drive issues from the things your saying. One thing I would suggest, would be go into event viewer.
You can type event viewer in the search on start menu if you have windows 7 or
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer
Check in the application logs or system logs for the windows error you first mentioned and google what the error is. Sounds like hard drive corruption or game corruption from what I can see. I would do a check disk to verify there are no bad sectors on hard drive and a file check on game to make sure all game files are correct.
Thank you so much - does it matter than I am playing via Steam? Thanks again so much.

Nah, steam shouldn't matter at all. Look through event viewer for a "Error" or "Critical" in red, around the time you saw the error. It should be an error, cause critical usually means PC reboot, but it could be either. Once you find it, double click it to give you the info and you should be able to google the phrase it uses in the description and the event id.
This information should give you an idea, after googling it, as to whats causing your issues. Again it sounds like corrupted data, either because of the hard drive or the game.
A check disk and defrag would probably be a good idea no matter what. Especially if you do a "integrity" check on your game install. I haven't played darkfall, even though thinking about it, but most games these days have a option in the launcher to check you game files integrity to make sure nothing has happened to them. Run the integrity check first, then check disk and then defrag.
Unless googling event id and description tell you its something else.
This also is probably your best bet. Have to agree with Caldrin, check their forums or website, or even google "darkfall windows critical error" or something along those lines. You may find exactly whats happening to your game and a way to fix it.

But! I tried that and all fixes are at least 1 year old. Thanks for (sincere?) tip though!
