Thanks for helping! I finally got my hands on a computer with windows 8 and installed the programs you mentioned, but I still get the same 0x000007b error. I read somewhere that it could be problems with the registry and then i ran CCleaner but it didn’t help. Tried running my game on yet another windows 7 computer and it worked so i’m not sure if its my game or the specific windows 8 computer that is messing things up.
