Quad Core - The application was unable to start correctly - 0xc000007b

I avoid visiting any Sims forum or dealing with any Sims questions.  That was no always the case.  I've no idea when the Hero refertenced sleeps or has any personal life to live away from the AHQ spaces.  I was impressed with some of the helpful threads there; personally, I take more time offline than online to read, socialize in person, and take care of my house / yard. 

I have no interest in that level of dedication.  In past forum incarnations over my 30 years of electronic communication, starting with telephone bulletin boards, I have hosted some BBS's and been active as a volunteer moderator on several gaming forums.  The Internet has changed dramatically in my time.  The forum members have far too little respect for each other or a moderator to suit me at my age. 

Before the AHQ's Heroes were to be elevated to moderator responsibility levels, I was not asked if I wanted that responsibility (I did not), and when the change came, my Hero Status was changed to a new rank no one before then ever had, "Chosen" -- that was over a year and more ago. 

I have been asked since if I wanted the responsibility now, and have demurred.
