It means the game cannot find its resources to run.

Usually happens when someone moves the game executable to the desktop, instead of creating a shortcut.

Easy fix, is to remove all the desktop ICONS, then install a fresh copy of the game over the top of the existing copy.  That way you do not lose any of your settings.
