Rage wont launch (error 0xc0000142)

[slartibartfast]

Hi, 

I've only just downloaded Rage, and have yet to successfully connect to a server. The launcher worked for me before, and I was in the game, ust not on any particular server as the program was still finding one for me when I quit. Now, even though I have updated my GTA V to 1.40, the Rage launcher won't start and instead opens up an error message saying "error 0xc0000142".

 

Please help
