  First of all I'm running Vista 64 bit and VC2008 full
  
  When I try to create any app using glut I can set it up so I can compile the app no problem but when I go to run it I always no matter what I do get an error saying:
  Unhandled exception at 0x00018bac in gluttest.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.
  
  When I hit break it goes to gs_Support.c specifically this line:
      cookie = systime.ft_struct.dwLowDateTime;
  
  within this batch of code:
      /*
       * Initialize the global cookie with an unpredictable value which is
       * different for each module in a process.  Combine a number of sources
       * of randomness.
       */
  
      GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&systime.ft_struct);
  #if defined (_WIN64)
      cookie = systime.ft_scalar;
  #else  /* defined (_WIN64) */
      cookie = systime.ft_struct.dwLowDateTime;
      cookie ^= systime.ft_struct.dwHighDateTime;
  #endif  /* defined (_WIN64) */
  
      cookie ^= GetCurrentProcessId();
      cookie ^= GetCurrentThreadId();
      cookie ^= GetTickCount();
  
      QueryPerformanceCounter(&perfctr);
  
  This is from my call stack:
       00018bac()   
  >    gluttest.exe!__security_init_cookie()  Line 131    C
       gluttest.exe!mainCRTStartup()  Line 398    C
       kernel32.dll!76d5e3f3()    
  
  
  I get this even if I turn 'Buffer Security Check' to No (/GS -)
  I have also made sure that I have the Platform SDk installed with my glut and other files added to the appropriate lib, dll directories.
  
  I have been battling this issue for months and am frustrated beyond all compare. If I work from my XP 32bit machine I don't run into this problem but now that I'm back in grad school I need to be able to work off my laptop and alas its the Vista 64bit OS which is giving me these nightmares.
