Sorry for the delay!

Please try this out:
Error when starting game: "The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000005). Click on ok to terminate application."
In your Control Panel, open the System control panel applet. Click the Advanced tab and, under Performance, click Settings. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab. Change the Data Execution Prevention ("DEP") setting to "turn on DEP for essential sevices only" and OK out of the control panel. Try again.
