Hello at the start of the program that's what emerges:

A critical error loading Sia has occured: Siad unexpectedly exited. Error log: Sia Daemon v1.3.1
Loading...
(0/6) Loading siad...
(1/6) Loading gateway...
listen tcp :9981: bind: address already in use

What to do?

Look at the section about changing your gateways.

@venturecap
Looks like you have multiple instances of sia running, quit everything related to sia from the task manager or just restart your computer should fix the problem.
