My good friend OP - There is no easy fix, however you may get lucky if you take the time to ready the following. I took the time to search for a fix ... after all, who want's to be in a community full of so many unhelpful people?

I have coppied and pasted as well as formated the following text. If you have any questions just post away. I have learning dificulties myself, however happy to assist as best I can. I have a little experinace with such things therfore may be able to help. Try not to get too frustrated. Once again TAKE YOUR TIME.

I hope the following helps:
_________________________________

There are two ways this error can occur.

1. It can occur when starting a program, in which case a message appears on your computer screen indicating that the application failed to initialize properly and the process is terminated.

2. This error can also occur when installing the Windows OS or program. It is also possible for the Application error 0xc0000005 to occur when updating a program or after installing or upgrading any hardware.
_________________________________

WHICH ONE of the above applies to you?

Possible FIXes:
_________________________________

1. Your first task should be to run a full scan of your computer with the installed antivirus/malware program.

Virus/Malware infection is one of the major and common causes of the error. Try doing what you were doing before the error occurred to see if it is resolved after completion of the scan.

Check to ensure that all installed programs installed on your computer are updated. You specifically need to make sure that a program you attempted to launch before the error occurred is up to date. Re-launch the program to see if the error is resolved.

Is there any hardware that was recently installed on the computer such as new memory card or printer? What is the state of its drivers? Check to ensure that drivers for any hardware recently installed are up to date. You may also need to un-mount the newly installed hardware to see if it is responsible for causing the error.

Perform these simple Steps measures before reverting to what you were doing before the error 0xc0000005 occurred to see if it is Fixed.[/]

2. Regular installation and un-installation of applications on your computer can be a cause of various problems including corruption of system files. Repairing corrupt files can be very helpful in resolving error 0xc0000005.

3. DISABLE DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION (DEP)

The DEP is a set of security features that checks computer memory as one way of protecting your computer from virus. It can be the cause of the error if some installed programs are compatible with it. Disabling it temporarily can easily resolve the 0xc0000005 error.

* Type “sysdm.cpl” in the open Run Box before pressing OK.

* Click on the “Advanced” tab on the resultant system properties window that appears.

Close all windows now and check if Exception Error 0xc0000005 Persists. If it is still there, move to next method.

6. PERFORM SYSTEM RESTORE

Performing system restore may be your last option to get rid of error 0xc0000005 just in case any of the above solutions does not work. It is as simple as taking back your computer to a previous date when all programs launched without any error.

However, you need to note that you will lose anything you may have installed after that date. You can do a System restore only if you already have created a restore point in the past.

Many factors can cause the occurrence of the Windows error code 0xc0000005. A very efficient way to prevent it is to ensure that all installed programs and drivers are always up to date. Any hardware you install should also be compatible with your computer, and all its latest drivers must be installed.

GOOD LUCK

Any questions ... just post. We are not all trolls here.

Exception 0xC0000005 is "access violation exception". It doesn't need to be related to any problems with your operating system or setting of data execution protection (I have DEP set to opt-out per app, with no railworks.exe on the list of exceptions, and I don't get the exception). It might be any error in the code of TS or any of loaded by it libraries, where the data or code is trying to be accessed outside of defined for it boundaries.

Searching about the exception with Google will bring rather only irrelevant for it results, related to problems with the OS or with other applications.

Does it happen when launching Train Simulator or after it already launched? The last time I was getting the error every time while launching TS, simple system reboot helped to solve it.

I’ve been seeing this error quite a bit in the last couple of months. This is during gameplay not when it starts or when installing anything. Also not with any other software, and not previously so I do think this is an issue with a recent update to TS. There is no conceivable way I would recommend anyone does a system restore because they are having this issue with TS!

The information provided on Google is not meant to solve everyone's issues. It's more about one's ability to go through the checks and ballances. Of course it's not going to be the same for everyone, yet I know from experiance there is more than one way to corrupt a file, as too, more than one way to the path of success.

I wonder how the OP went?

You sill breating arogalaski?????
