Unity doesn't start on Windows 7 x64?
Unity doesn't start for me. Unity 2.6.1 indie version silently just quits when I try to start it. It doesn't matter if I start with Administrator privileges or not, or from command line or not. The process gets created, then almost immediately exits. No log file is created.
I'm using Windows 7 x64, GeForce G210M graphics, all the latest available patches and drivers.
Help?
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and Unity is working for me.

I had tried the Alt thing, and it didn't work.
It turns out that Unity is not compatible with Data Execution Prevention, so I have to create an exception for it, which I'm really unhappy about -- I want to run a secure machine, and there's no really good reason for modern software to not take this into account. If you use JIT code generation, there are ways to mark the data as executable before you jump to it, for example.
Also, it would probably be good if the installer tested for this, and warned you up front.
There's something wrong with your machine. I'm running Unity 2.6 on Windows 7 x64 w/ DEP enabled just fine.
I can't run Unity on my x64 win 7 box and I have DEP turned off except for essential windows programs. $$anonymous$$y web player doesn't work either.

Is there at least a x64 Windows version of the Unity Player on the horizon? That's really very important (and even more to the Unity people since Adobe has recently released a stable x64 version of Flash).

Did it ever work? You can try holding down the "Alt" button when starting up Unity then creating a new project.

If you had enabled DEP (System properties/Advanced/Performance/Data Execution Prevention) for all programs and services, just add Unity.exe to exception list.

I have the same problem and have tried all your solutions. It has been working perfectly for months but now it suddenly doesn't start. It's not a DEP problem!
