This is direct from the LOTRO forums bud. It sounds as if you have Vista and are getting booted due to a permissions error.

Clicky to source

To use the game under Windows Vista, it must be installed to a folder with Admin rights. Do as follows...

1. Browse your Computer and go to C:\Program Files\Turbine
2. Right click on The Lord of The Rings Online folder and select Properties.
3. Click on the security tab, you will see a list of "Group or User names"
4. Click on the Edit button
5. Click on add and enter your PC user name (if you do not know this, you can check it from control panel - users) and click OK
6. Now select the user you have just added from the list and click on "Allow" opposite Full Control. Then click OK
7. Choose to allow the action if Vista prompts you.

Now try running the game again.

This should prevent you receiving the same error message.

If this doesn't help, please let us know and we'll do some more digging with you on it.
