Weird. The only thing I could say is either:
- Update/Make sure your drivers are installed
- Try opening in Safe Mode
- Reinstall Windows if Possible
- 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.)
- Cry, then buy a new computer (may be your most expensive and/or embarrassing option)
- Disable UAC (I hate it)
With the specs you listed, you shouldn't have a problem. Do you even get the splash screen?
I'm going to vote this up just because I'm laughling right now at option 5.

Try Updating the .Net Framework
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.
try a system restore to an earlier date? you said it worked a few days ago.
$$anonymous$$y system restores don't go back that dar, annoyingly. The earliest one is the 12/3.

try right clicking the unity.exe and click run as administrator..
what does it say when you double click the .exe file ?
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
