Solved: Error on Start: Exception thrown at 0x100024CE (spnjewrc.dll)

EDIT: Turns out I needed to run things as administrator. It works just fine now!

Hi! I’m using Visual Studio 2015 and Monogame v3.4 (though in programfiles\Monogame it says 3.0 which I’m not sure why I’ve downloaded this version: http://www.monogame.net/2015/04/29/monogame-3-4/)

The issue I am having is that whenever I try to run the project I just created, no alterations, simply a newly create project from the MonoGame Windows Project template I get the error shown below.

There is nothing in MonoGame that requires you to run it as an administrator. I would suspect the two DLLs I listed here. Especially spnjewrc.dll as it is the one causing the problem with the privileged instruction. These DLLs are not a part of Windows and must be something else that you have installed. Raptr looks to be a game capture and streaming application. spnjewrc.dll could be a virus checker because they do things like create randomly named versions of themselves in your AppData or Temp folders.
