Cannot install the simple game (Fishdom) due to the run-time error 'asked to terminate in an unusual way.

I asked about Playrix, but they are completely clueless.  I bought Fishdom and downloaded.  When I go to install it, to the last window when he says 'launch Fishdom?' and I hit "Yes", it will not launch and I get the infamous runtime error:

Runtime Visual C++ error library
The application requested to terminate the duration in an unusual way.
For more support, please contact administrators.

Maybe it's not the exact wording, but I know that everyone is familiar with this error message. There is no error message number to identify the problem.

I posted this under games even if my prob is perhaps not relevant to this forum.  If anyone has a suggestion of where to go, it would be very nice and I can re-post.

I've updated my graphic drivers, Update ActiveX, DirectX, restarted, and whenever I have it re-downloaded, not only do uninstall the version I tried to install, but I go to C/program/files/Playrix and delete anything there as well.  I don't have this in-between software - as a Playrix games - car Manager at least gives me a direct download link so I'll actually not through a distributor site.

I have XP SP3, use FireFox (current version), and my graphics driver is Express family Chipset 965 (which I think is a Ricoh or Intel product?).  It came with my Dell Inspiron 1520.  I have no other problems with anything on my computer and play frequently other simple match 3 games - online - on the MSN Games website.

I have Malwarebytes running in the background.  I also tried to disable the real-time protection and install and which did not help.

I really want this game, and anyone who can help me with this will have my eternal gratitude.  (A lot of promise, I know, but you'll be worth it).

Thank you to everyone who is addressing this.  I will try what you suggest!

Hi Catsin,

I suggest you follow these methods and check.

Method 1: I suggest that you try reinstalling from Visual C++ Runtime library.

http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=a7b7a05e-6de6-4D3A-A423-37bf0912db84

Install the application and check.

If the method above does not work, proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Run the clean boot and try to install the application.

To do this, follow the steps in this link:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

NOTE: Once you check the functionality, follow the suggestions under steps to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state.

If the previous step fails, then try to install the program in compatibility mode and check if it works.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 4: Perform a full scan of the computer using the following antivirus applications.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Malicious software removal tool: http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx

  • Cannot install the printer driver - error of access denied

    I have two laptops Inspiron 1545 new running Windows 7 64-bit edition that expose that same question.  I'm trying to get an Epson color Stylus 760 working with them via a USB connection.

    When I join the starting the unit is correctly recognized, but the Epson driver does not install correctly.  If I run Windows Update, the Epson driver is listed as an optional update.  If I select and run the update, it fails with 80070005 error.

    If I go into Device Manager, the printer is listed as a printer USB that does not run as properly as there is no driver.  If I choose "put updated pilot" from the Device Manager, it downloads successfully the driver (even such as mentioned in Windows Update) and when you try to install the driver it comes back with an error "access denied."

    As mentioned previously in this case with two laptops.  In both cases I was logged under an administrator account, but not "the" administrator account.  I have enabled the administrator account and tried to install it through this, but it made no difference.  I tried also to remove and reinstall the device without success.

    The Windows 7 compatibility site said that the printer is compatible with Windows 7 64 - bit edition.

    Hi Shawn,

    In my view, that there is a driver 64 bit Windows 7 according to the guidelines of this site:
    The Epson Stylus Color 760 is a 'built in the Windows 7 driver.
    Nevertheless, I will try your suggestion if Alan does not work.
    Kind regards

  • Cannot install the update 'KB3000850', error A 80071, 90

    Separated from this thread.

    I do not think that this problem is caused by not only not the update of KB2919355 previously installed.  I have a new laptop HP bought yesterday and started to install all updates Windows 8.1 last night.  Since it was a new PC, I had to install updates more than 60 who took me more time of 6 hours.  After three "restarts" after several installations of update, the only pending update was the "KB3000850". When I tryied to install it, I got this error "A 80071, 90.  I tried a 'clean' reboot and got the same error.  I then checked if I had the KB2919355 update installed, and this is, so this isn't the problem.  Help, please.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community.

    A 80071, 90 error appears when the files that are required by Windows are used (locked) by other programs. Programs, such as antivirus programs that run when Windows starts, can lock system files.

    I suggest you to run the fixit from following link to see if it helps.

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941/en-us .

    If it doesn't, I would also say that you run the following commands at the command prompt.

    Open an elevated command prompt. To do this:

    A. drag from the right edge of the screen and then click on Search. (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen and then click Search).

    B. type command prompt in the Search box, right click guestand then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    C. type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

    1 DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    2 DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Note: It may take a few minutes for each operation in order to fill.

    Close the command prompt and try to install the Windows updates.

    If it does not, please go ahead and install the update manually by downloading from the Windows update website and check if it works.

    I hope this helps. Keep us up-to-date with the State.
