Thank you for your reply. I had already tried "run as admin" with no luck. I tried clearing out the user data and then tried just deleting the user folder for strive2, no luck in either case. It worked fine yesterday before the exception halt so I can't see that it's GPU drivers. I went through the registry and removed anything with 'strive' in it. I didn't find any registry entries with 'godot' in them. Still no luck. I tried unzipping it into a different directory. I tried the 32 bit version. I haven't tried a reboot. Every time I do it takes a bit to get various windows setup how I want them.
So I'm stumped and I did like what I had seen (even if I haven't figured out how to start making money in the game).
Edit: Oh, I can run the version on Newgrounds.
