Unhandled Exception: Access_Violation (C0000005)

I Just installed the game
I tried running it as admin, service pack 3, and -w for windowed mode and still get this same error.
I also tried DEP

I could use some help please, I’d like to play this game.

I’ve also seen people say they were able to fix it by using -nofixaspect in the shortcut. Finally, I’ve seen people say they got it to work by running game.exe as administrator and not with compatibility.

I already tried this and it didn’t work.
I said I tried admin.

Just to rule out any trouble associated with your user profile, try creating a new administrative user account and then try running the game from it.

Thank you!

@Blizzard, since this seems to be a common resolution to this problem, it might be worth adding the suggestion of creating a new admin account to the list of things to try on the following:
