I think that's a problem with your ThreatFire firewall software; see also e.g. here:
- running world of goo with ThreatFire
- ThreatFire and World of Goo = crash on startup

Have you installed the version 1.3 patch by the way? It resolved some issues (although I'm not sure this particular one was included; as far as I understand it, it was a problem with the firewall, not the game per se).

Re: Fatal Error!Keiran09/10/2009 - 21:53

See the problem is that I don't have ThreatFire firewall the only thing I have is Spyware Doctor and I tried disabling it but no dice. Anything else that I can do to fix it? I really want to play it :(. Oh I also installed 1.3 update but no deal.

Same story for me: Exact same error; no ThreatFire; yes Spyware Doctor; tried disabling Spyware Doctor; tried installing 1.3 update.

Makes me suspicious of Spyware Doctor.  Perhaps I'll try uninstalling it...

Re: Fatal Error!kullyflower11/08/2009 - 11:56

Keiran!  Good news!  It is Spyware Doctor!

Rather than temporarily disabling Spyware Doctor, right-click on the Spyware Doctor system tray icon and choose "Shutdown."  It will warn you that you'll need to restart the computer to completely disable Spyware Doctor, and that's what I did; I don't know if it would work without restarting.  But when the computer restarted, WoG ran just fine.

I created a new topic titled "Access violation on startup fixed by disabling Spyware Doctor" linking back to this thread, to make it more discoverable.
