Unhandled Exception Error
Downloaded the tool and tried to run it but got an error? It’s possible you get an unhandled exception error when installing 3DMark 2013: DLL function call crashed: ISRT._RegQueryKeyValue. Setup will now terminate.
According to 3DMark employees that is a registry corruption error or a possible bad memory module. Or an admin permission problem
Consider downloading CCleaner to fix the registry error
1. Step Uninstall 3DMark 2013
2. Step Run CCleaner to fix your registry
3. Step Reboot, then re-install 3DMark (read tip below)
TIP: Fix your registry, then run the installer again and select Repair instead of uninstalling it completely, this may already fix the issue, did the trick for me at least
3DMark GUI has stopped working
If you run into the error that the GUI has stopped working, please follow the steps above and download CCleaner
This error usually only occurs if the installation failed or when you close the program.
