I then tried to run the "console," which was in the same folder and got this message.

This is the first time I've downloaded Ren'Py. I'm running on Windows XP Home. Please let me know if you need any other information.
I'd also ask you download older versions of Ren'Py to see if you can isolate where the problem comes up. Also if it comes up on startup, or sometime later... and if it comes up later, what you clicked to cause it to happen.

I just tried the following demos in these versions and they gave me the same Visual C++ runtime error, which seems to happen right after I double-click on renpy.exe.
6.4.0
5.6.7
5.6.1
5.4.5
5.3.0
5.1.5
5.1.2
5.1.1
Ren'Py 5.1.0 and 5.0 works for me.
I also tried to update to Service Pack 3 (KB936929), but it keeps telling me I need 4 additional megabytes of space, which is another problem I haven't dealt with yet lol.
into your environment and running Ren'Py. (Maybe someone else can explain how to do that.) But if you're having problems running windib graphics, there is something really wrong with your system.

I "set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx" using the command prompt, but the same error pops up in under 6.7.0 when I double-click renpy.exe.
However, running the "console" under 6.7.0 doesn't give me the segmentation fault and brings up a window, titled "Ren'Py Launcher." I select "demo" as the project and then click on "Launch."
I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.7.0c
I'm having the same issue but it happens randomly. I think it happens after opening the TeamSpeak3, before that it works perfectly. So I don't really get it. I've used some of the previous versions and it was cool, it's with the new interface when it started to fail.
I bought a brand new Surface Pro for the precise reason of showing off the game at San Diego Comic-Con/future cons, as well as having beta testers and my own team play our games at these things, and I'm getting the same error.
