USB port malfunctioning, always says "USB Device not recognized"

Well, I got it working after adding it as an exception to DEP. But it is weird because the game runs VERY slow and the fps is around 30 (not stable). It just feels so much different than on windows 7. I am running it as an administrator. It is also weird because it seems to have no settings set. This game has something called an "autoexec.cfg" that loads every time the game starts. It loads fine for the other exes, but it won't load for this one. It is very strange. Also, when I go to properties, I see something very strange:

EDIT: It seems almost as if it just doens't have permission to access any subfolders or anything. But I am running it as an administrator.

EDIT 2: Alright, I opened the other exes and they are lagging like crazy now too. I don't understand what is wrong.

EDIT 3: Ok, I reenabled the DEP for the program and restarted my computer but the fps is still horrible and the program lags like crazy. 

EDIT 4: LMAO. I can't believe I forgot about this. I forgot the adapter was disabled. Now that I've enabled it, it runs perfectly. wow :P. But it still seems like it can't access any other files or anything. Not sure how to fix that. Sorry for all the edits lol

Sorry for getting back to you so late.

This is a very old game, it came out in 2000 lol. This same .exe (I copied and pasted it from my windows 7 computer onto my windows 8. with this game, it doesn't need registry keys so you can copy and paste the whole game folder onto another machine and it will work just fine). works fine on windows 7 but not 8. On 8, I get this BEX error.  I have tried running it in compatibility mode for windows 7 but that also did not work.

Maybe I will just disable Data Execution Protection for this program since I trust it. 

I tried what you suggested with the driver but it did not fix it. Also, I don't even see a basic display adapter in device manager. 

My computer did not crash, but the program crashed with an error.

Have you tried right-clicking on the shortcut to the program, or the .exe, and selecting the "Run As Administrator" option?  Do so even if your user is an Admin.

Try right-clicking on the actual Setup.exe and selecting the "Run As Administrator" option?  Do so even if your user is an Admin.

c0000005 is a buffer overrun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow. I don't know how to explain it without giving you a headache. It basically means something tried to access memory that it wasn't supposed to. Sometimes a bug and sometimes a virus. The Virus will try and overwrite good memory with their evil data in an effort to sneak in. I legitimate program can do this if there is a bug in it but either way the data execution protection will see it and stop it just incase it is a virus. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738483(WS.10).aspx 

So don't panic it doesn't mean there is a virus. But it does mean you should run some scans just in case. If it is a free game and you don't trust I would double check it.

You can run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth To open the elevated cmd prompt use windows key + x > Command Prompt Admin

Drivers are a cause of this. So make sure the are all updated which they should be. The graphics driver is the first one to look at. If it is a game and doesn't have any high graphics requirements you can disable the graphics adapter in device manager and use the Basic Display Adapter to see if the issue stops. If it does then it has to do with he graphics card drivers most likely.

Did you get a crash when it happened? If you did you can start a new thread and upload the mini dump files to a file sharing site and post the link. I can read it but If it isn't obvious I will never find it :)

There are a few people on here that mainly focus on this type of issue.

I have a new error, how can I fix this problem? (I have already tried reinstalling)
