Game doesn't start at all

I got back to DCS after new years and since then the game doesn't start for me. I'm attaching the dcs log file.

Also what GPU are you using?

Windows is up to date, I have the redistributables, graphics card is GTX 450, latest nVidia drivers. I think I updated the drivers between the last time the game ran and the first time it didn't, but I'm not sure it's related. Besides, I imagine enough people keep their drivers current for this to not go unnoticed.
