This is a bit of a technical question. I would ask it in the StarCraft II Beta forums, but now that the Beta has closed, it seems as if they've wiped the database once again. I logged in to the forums and it wouldnt let me post because I had no characters, as it said.
I'm sure for most of you, even with the Beta over, the Galaxy Editor still runs and can be used. However, I tried to open it the other day, and it opened just fine at first. But once it loaded up the default blank map, it got stuck at the splash screen. Then the game crashed, with this error.
"ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
occurred at 001B:0102DB53. The memory at '0x0000010B' could not be read."
I had no idea why this happened, since it worked fine a few days ago and the only thing I did between then and now was patch the game. Then I checked the game itself, and it patched a second time. Tried the editor again...still no dice.
I checked the forums and found a post from April.

This guy has the same problem I have. According to Blizzard, it was a driver problem, which makes no sense since the game itself ran fine on my current drivers. But since mine were even more out of date than this guy's, I decided to update as reccomended.
And as you'd imagine, it didn't work at all. Still the same error.
It makes me wonder if something got corrupted in the patch data the last time I patched the game. If that's so, the likely answer would be to reinstall, but now I don't even know if that's worth it without a Blizzard employee saying so since the beta is out, and I'd be better off waiting for phase 2.
I know this isnt a tech support forum, but considering I can't even post in the SCII b.net forums let alone the Beta without a character profile, I don't really know where to turn. Has anyone seen this sort of crash before? It really sucks since I was hoping to play around with the editor while waiting for phase 2.
If there's a better place for this thread, please move it by all means. I figured General Discussion would be best since I just can't figure out where to go with it.
