Solved RAGE AppCrash

[CJW]

Everytime I try to start RAGE, I get a black screen & then an error message that RAGE has stopped working.
1st, I can read the Report.wer file by using Word.
2nd, how do I decipher what is wrong so I can try to fix it?

Thanks, the link helped me out.

I needed to DL & install the AMD Catalyst™ - Rage Performance Driver & game works fine now (though my Graphics Card is on the low end performance-wise).

Question:
I DL'd the AMD Catalyst™ - Rage Performance Driver, then proceeded to run it; after it installed, it then asked to install the Catalyst Install Manager (which I did). Why the double installation & do I need both?

Another Q about RAGE.
What is the difference between the normal & Anarchy Edition & how can I tell which I have?
I don't have the original discs, that is why I have to ask.

Here is a quote from IGNs site:

The Anarchy Edition will allow players to access two special weapons, the Double Barrel Shotgun and the Fists of RAGE. Additionally, players will have access to the Rat Rod Buggy, which will replace your standard in-game buggy, and the Crimson Elite Armor, giving you an extra defensive boost.
