Specifically, some sort of information would be useful. A debug.err. Did you report to FogBugz? If so, what's the ticket ID?
I am having the same problem. So far I've been able to work around this by changing the skipintro setting in the prefs.ini file from =0 to =1, which as it states, skips the intro and goes directly to the main menu. So far, no further crashes after the loading screen.
After hitting the hang that I reported in another thread, I uninstalled and reinstalled. The game started up, I changed the options to switch to windowed mode, exited the game, and restarted. Then I hit the crash reported in this thread. The skipintro prefs.ini change that stevty2889 suggested circumvents the crash for me also.
I've reported the problem on fogbugz, ticket 70726.
I managed to make it work by changing the selection to full-screen.
crashed at startup:

I edited the settings file and changed SkipIntro=0 to SkipIntro=1. Relaunched the game and it launched without issues. Deleted teh Debug.err file, changed SkipIntro back to 0 and relaunched again. No problems this time.
Closed down impulse. Started it back up and launched elemental. Crash in intro again
