The other 2 possible causes of the problem: MSIE 7 DIRECTX 10 These are both beta releases too. Seriously dude, you're running a testing platform. I'm amazed you even tried to run MxO on it.

Umm... The Matrix Online is not supported on Windows Vista, which is a Beta release. IE it's full of bugs and not ready to be sold. Chances are the problem lies with the operating system, stick with XP until Vista service pack 1 comes out...

Server not found. (Server name cannot be resolved).

Looks like a firewall problem. Something is blocking port 53 for Launcher.exe or matrix.exe (DNS works on port 53) The error means that launcher.exe can't turn something like authserv.thematrixonline.com into and IP address like 123.45.67....
