Did you use the same PC as the one you have now? Did something change between then and now—hardware upgrade, for example? Reinstall the operating system?
@Shandyr does your computer also have an Intel chipset? See if this setting will help: Open the Nvidia control panel Select Manage 3D settings Global Settings tab Switch the drop down from Auto to nvidia Reboot your computer
I don't suppose closing every other application down helps (not sure if it would work in safe mode).
What monitor resolution do you have. I think I saw mention of 1920x1080 but a native resolution that was lower in your dxdiag file - but it's late and I could have misunderstood.
Agreed here -- one thing we haven't mentioned so far. This cropped up shortly after the initial release of the Enhanced Editions. Data Execution Prevention could be it. Try adding it as an exception and see if it helps. If that doesn't work there's something else I'll get you to try.
Also I've noticed, that the guy from the latter ticket uses Win7 32-bit while I use Win 7 64 bit. And he is still able to play the regular enhanced editions. I cannot play any beamdog game anymore.
Win 7 64-bit can't be the cause of your problem because if it was way more people would be having trouble starting BGEE, including me.

If so, I took a look through the crash dump and the issue is graphics related. Could you read through the reply and provide the requested details? :-)
Quick question: was there any time when you were able to play the retail games from the Beamdog client?

Open the Nvidia control panel
Select Manage 3D settings
Global Settings tab
Switch the drop down from Auto to nvidia
Reboot your computer
- Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (Installer)
- Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (Installer)
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
- Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013
After that, try downloading the DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010).http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings?SignedIn=1

Can you try disabling DEP, or set an exception?
(I am probably not helping much)
