Downloaded from Stardock, kb.exe causes an unhandled exception

[HeinBloed]

Hi,

I've scanned this forum and others for a description of my problem, but I couldn't find it, so here goes:

I bought King's Bounty on Stardock/Impulse, downloaded and installed it. When I launch the application, I get to see the splash screen for some seconds before my installed debugger (Visual Studio) is launched due to a program error. Then I disabled the debugger, now I get the Application Error dialog (but I've disabled the Reporting function). I can look up the details, the exception is specified as this:

Code: 0xc0000005
Flags: 0x00000000
Record: 0x0000000000000000
Address: 0x0000000000bca99a

I've only found this kind of error (unhandled exception being thrown) mentioned on a Russian forum, which is of no help to me. I've tried many things which are recommended on this forum to cure the various DirectX errors, but to no avail. After all, I seem to be affected by a completely different error anyway since I don't get any of the reported error messages, just the unhandled exception.

Help please anyone?
