I get this error whenever I try to start World of Warcraft, Audacity, or Blender. What does it mean, and how can I fix it? This is on Windows 7 64-bit.
This was all I could find in the event log:
It looks like all it logged was the appearance of the dialog box.

That error is often caused by a faulty set of older (2005) C++ libraries.
Try removing and reinstalling them.
You can get an updated version from MS here: Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update (or the original 64-bit version here).
Edit:
I'm still pretty sure this is a Visual C++ runtime library problem. Perhaps it's not the 2005 version specifically in this case.
Check your Add/Remove Programs and determine which, if any, MS VC++ runtime libraries you have installed. And, as before, uninstall and reinstall them.
Here's some links to help you get them:
