The issue has been fixedI am not sure what the problem was, but after several hours of trouble shooting a new recent problem that has nothing to do with Universe Sandbox (I'll get to it) and downloading several Windows updates (2 of which failed for some reason) I can now start it up and do whatever I want, no problem.
My more pressing issue,
not associated with Universe Sandbox, is that I can't open System Properties, the Network sharing center (from the tray), Default Programs, Windows Updates, and probably more things. Nothing happens, I try to open them and it gives me the loading circle for a quarter of a second and then just nothing.
Also, some commands like "sfc /scannow" and "ipconfig" and most likely many more, are not working in the cmd box. I am the admin and owner of the computer, so there is no question there. Last thing I can think of is that it keeps trying to install 2 updates that keep failing according to the update log.
This happened after I ran a registry cleaner and short cuts cleaner, ect. So I am assuming that has to do with the problems.
Hours of Google has failed me...
So yeah, anyone who reads this, and happens to have any kind of idea as to what I should do, please post.

After I impulse bought this on Steam, I was very sad to find out that once I attempted to to launch it, it immediately froze gave an error message, which was quickly hidden under another error message.
Computer info:
Win 7 Possessional 64bit,
MSI N275GTX TwinFrozr OC GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card,
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s),
This is the error message on the bottom:
I can't click ok...because the program has stopped working.
This is the text of the error message:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
"I'm not very program savvy (I should be seeing as I want to get into this field) so I'm not sure if there is a simple fix to this. Clicking continue just causes it to follow the usual "This program has stopped working, Debug?" Crashes.
So I'm not sure if the big update even went through Steam, but it still crashes the same way it did yesterday.
