Application Error at Startup The error message, "The application failed to initialize properly ( 0xc0000005 )" is caused by DEP being enabled. Istaria attempts to pre-allocate memory at start-up, and this is misinterpretted by DEP. DEP exlcusion is only required for the 382 and earlier client. Client version 383 and higher (known as the Vista-compatible client) does not require DEP exclusion.
