Have you tried running it as Administrator yet?

Doesnt help at all
Do you get any error messages, at which point exactly does it crash and does it always crash?
What have you tried already and what are the rough specs of your system (operating system, Processor, graphics card)?

No errors at all. I simply start the game in the launcher, it starts i click new game then click an difficulty after that the schreen goes black for under a second then it goes back to the desktop.

Windows 7 64 bit

There are several things you can try to avoid crashes.

1. Install the game with administrator rights and not in the default "\Program Files" folder, but in a custom one (like C:\Games\).
If you haven't, uninstall the game, delete all files manually from Witcher 2 install folder and install it again with priviliges (right-click the setup file and choose "run as administrator")
In installation menu choose custom install options and create a folder with no diacritic signs in name, for example "TW2".

2. Make sure that DirectX9 is installed in addition to the default DirectX11 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35)

3. Reinstall Visual C++ 2010 (and update via Windows Update)
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555)

4. Install .NET Framework version 4.0 (and update via Windows Update)
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851)

5. Turn off any antivirus software.

6. Make sure you have your My Documents folder in the default location

7. Graphics:
- Turn all settings to Application-Controlled in the graphic card drivers control panel
- Try changing the game's resolution to the same as your desktop one (lower your screen resolution if it's very high, e.g. 2560x1440)
- Run the game in lowest detail
- Run the game in windowed mode
