try running it at a cmd prompt so you can see what the output is saying:

start, run, type "cmd" and hit enter
then you will have a black window with a prompt like:
C\WINDOWS>

then you can use the "cd" command to change directory to where your brenbot is installed, for example

C\WINDOWS> cd \Westwood\BrenBot

And now finally run brenbot by just typing the name
C\Westwood\BrenBot> brenbot

You should then be able to see any error messages before it exits.

Anyway, connect to the irc network you have your brenbot on and join the channel you registered.
Now goto your startmenu and do: Startmenu >> Run >> cmd [enter]
A console pops up now where you have to manually change to the DIR where your own BRenBot is located

Type 'brenbot' and then hit enter, BRenBot should now startup.
The reason for doing it like this the first time is because if it has errors it will display them on-screen now.
If you would start BRenBot from a shortcut the first time it would auto-close if an error is encountered.

If everything went ok, you should now see something like this:
