Are you running decal and AC as administrator?

You might want to try uninstalling decal, running the decal registry cleaner (a must I believe), then try installing the decal 2.9.6.0 version instead of the 2.9.6.5 beta version.

I have a Win 7 x32 bit system that developed crashes anytime I had decal enabled, but I had wound up with a corrupted VVS bootstrap install (part of Virinditank), when I went to reinstall vtank I was missing a library it wanted, I installed that (and used Virindi's registry cleaner) and that system is works fine now.
It's a Visual c++ thing, I forget the exact name offhand, the vtank installer automatically went and found it, I wouldn't normally suggest installing plugins into a non working decal install but you may wish to try it.

Tried that, nada.

Right now if you told me that grabbing a quarter out of a running blender would make Decal work, I'd be bleeding.

Damn!

FIXED

What did I do? Just for shits and giggles I installed Drakier's Dual Client and logged in through that, with ACDC starting Decal.

Voila! In game with Decal.

Now, if I exit ACDC and attempt to launch AC with Decal running, it still crashes the AC launcher. Through ACDC is fine. Weird.

It sounds like ACDC can find decal's path and tie to ac so they both work together. I already use ACDC so didn't think of suggesting trying it, my other that I use, is my Decal directory is in the same directory as my first AC install. Shrugs it works for me.
