Crash at start up on Windows 7 64 bit

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

When starting Unity3d it instantly brings up a windows dialog box asking to close the program.
Under details it says Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll

I know I’m not running this on the most common setup but was hoping someone might have an idea anyway :slight_smile:

My friend is able to run it on the same OS (win 7 RC, 64 bit)

My system
Windows 7 RC 7100, 64 bit.
Mac pro intel quad core (running bootcamp)
4 gigs of ram
8800 GT video card
Norton 2010 (tried disabling and no luck)

I’ve tried running it in compatibility mode for XP and Vista and installed as admin.

Pretty much every recent program and even some old ones like games from 2001 work fine.

Thanks,
Dave

disable norton is worthless. the only way to disable it is to reinstall windows (uninstall does not clean its crap)

but I would recommend looking in the primary reasons:

  1. Admin priviledges
  2. UAC disabled
  3. DEP set to only protect important system services / have it in the exclude list (I go for the first, as the later means doing it for every 2nd app installed)

Hi Dreamora,

Thanks for the suggestions, it was indeed DEP.
Once I set DEP to exclude Unity, it started right up.

Best. Answer. Ever. :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Dave
