Make sure your setup.exe's drop down menu have information on them. If this doesn't help, please use this thread or you can also open a support ticket.

Got same problem starting yesterday too, but I got no problem on Sunday on the very same computer. The only difference is that I installed starcraft 2 on the laptop now and updated drivers for my Radeon HD 5650 (cause sc2 demanded it.) Don't think it's administrator cause I'm running as admin as well.
Patch wise, neoncube I'm on 143, and ragray-wise I updated enough to see Dewata.
Tried to launch via no death client, regular client or patcher and I get the described black screen before I see the connect to heRO server part.
Something with graphic card or directx really... still trying to solve the problem right now.
EDIT: Ok problem seems to be solved when I go to setup and change the first dropdown box from listing my graphic card to Direct3D T&L HAL.
Well, the source of the problem seems to have been found.
it looks like his ati graphic card is causing the problems.
installed heRO on laptop -> everythings fine.
however, on desktop the blank screen still remains, he already tried to solve the issue by updating graphic card drivers -> useless effort. =/
