Wait, what are you talking about? An english version of hammer? There
only is an english version. And if you're talking about windows itself,
I only have the dutch version. And I don't see a reason to install the
english version of windows even if I had it.
The error report is dutch because my windows is dutch.

I could, but it's useless because it's about sending the error to microsoft.

Ok, so, if it is doing this EVERY time you open Hammer, without Hammer loading ... or anything. Then it is corrupted (That error means the program is accessing system memory, it's the equivilent to a UNIX segmentation fault.).
That's about the best answer I could give. If it isn't that, then you've got something else affecting that executable file. In which case, scan your computer several times. Eliminate every threat that comes up. Check for Spyware.

I already ran virus scans, spyware scans, regclean, renamed my wad folders, reinstalled it in a different folder.
There is this one ram check program which I'll run tonight. Because it's obviously my memory which is screwing it up.

Okay, so, did you download a new copy of hammer NOT from where you downloaded it before?
Did you clean out Hammer (including the registry) and install the new copy; continue to get the same issue?
If not, here are the steps of what you need to do:
1. Uninstall Hammer
2. Clean Registry of Hammer Listings
3. Download NEW copy of Hammer from a different site
4. Preferably restart, since Windows is a bitch and has no effective registry refresh function.
5. Install NEW copy of Hammer.
Do all of that, then come back with the results.
Also, I didn't say the problem was your RAM. I said that Hammer is accessing areas of memory it doesn't have rights to access.
If Hammer is the only program acting this way, the problem is Hammer.

There are key differences in our posts.
You say to use a program to go through a delete hammer entries. I say to do it manually (through another program). I also tell him to aquire a new copy of the installation.

I thought it wasn't working at all ... as in ever.
It worked before and NOW it doesn't work?
Oops
