I also tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, but I get the same errors.

I restarted the system in Safe Mode. Now when I launch Action! I get two dialog boxes with errors:

DummyWind Application error
The instruction at 0x002c41bf referenced memory at 0x0000000

and

Action_x86.bin has stopped working.

Below is my DXDIAG. Running DXDIAG while stuck in the Action! splash screen actually completes the load, but when I tried to record, game mode was always disabled, and while recording in desktop mode did turn on the camera, it always resulted in a 0 byte AVI file. System Information ----------------...

I am unable to run Action! on a brand new laptop. It freezes on displaying the logo/splashscreen, and never fully loads.

Any help would be appreciated.
