Make sure you're not looking at a User Account Control prompt (those "Are you sure you want to allow this program to make system changes?" boxes when you install programs and such). Those interfere with DirectX in certain ways that Hawken doesn't like.

Also make sure you've updated DirectX from Microsoft and done your Windows Updates.

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled Hawken? If not, do that.

it would seem that a combination of the latest patch and setting to run as admin worked... 2 times i have logged in and it hasnt yet happened again

Try without admin, now, see if it was fixed in the patch.
