Weird. The only thing I could say is either:

  1. Update/Make sure your drivers are installed
  2. Try opening in Safe Mode
  3. Reinstall Windows if Possible
  4. Uninstall Unity, restart computer, make sure no files of Unity exist, run a program called CCleaner and get rid of old registry files, then reinstall Unity (this is if you don't want to reinstall Windows.)
  5. Cry, then buy a new computer (may be your most expensive and/or embarrassing option)
  6. Disable UAC (I hate it)

With the specs you listed, you shouldn't have a problem. Do you even get the splash screen?

That's not helping, sorry.

Even with a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro SP1, I'm able to run it fine, so I don't think it's a problem with the framework.

To add insult to injury, it worked fine just a few days ago. I have done nothing big since.

it's the 'do you want this program to make changes to your computer' screen.

the unity 3d doesnt not work because your computer type is windows 7 Home Premium . To make unity work you need a win 7 profesional or ultimate, if youre still having problems with unity then you need a new 3d graphic driver and then activate the graphics
