WC3 in windows Xp?

[Hades-Knight]

hey my friend just got wc3 and hes using windows xp home edition and he gets this error when he tries to run the exe


this application has encountered a critical error. Fatal Error! the instruction at 0x0306a6a8 referenced memory at 0x0306a6a8. the memory could not be read

Does anybody know what this is? is this a video card problem?

Did he try right clicking and clicking run as then choose desktop name then typing in his desktop password, thats what I have to do because my comp is screwd up and I have windows xp home addition.
