SteelSeries Engine 3 won't open

So first off, the lights in my SteelSeries Apex has gone out, but that's not my primary issue, as long as the thing works, I can live without the fancy lights.

Basically Engine 3 won't open at all. Every time I open Engine 3, it only shows the background process loading cursor, and then it eventually stops, without having opened anything.

Here's my specifications (I know they're shitty :P):
