So ya, I go to launch minecraft, and it stop to tell me "Loadlibrary failed error 998: invalid access to memory location."
I then get a report saying this:

I'm not sure whats going on or how to go about fixing it.. with the limited knowledge I have on hand, I've tried everything I and my boyfriend could think of. I'm also currently Paying for a Realm Server, so I'm even more stressed out about than normal. Thats my money blowing off into the wind.
Here is a link to the full report log, so I don't post a massive cascade of code scramble. http://pastebin.com/NNuFQY5n
It was marked as "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and the drop down menu as "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". I unchecked it, and got the same error as before when trying to load in past the launcher into the game, just a different number or so, but otherwise the same message.

Maybe your existing driver is NOT the latest, although the dates are close enough that it's probably just the difference between when the drivers were packaged, and when they were released.

Please someone help?
You may also want to try running "sfc /scannow" (See https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833)
And I did run the sfc scan before, if not more than once in trying to figure out whats wrong lately...
You crash dump says XP but you have Vista, have you tried running MC not in any compatibility mode?

It wouldn't hurt to try to reinstall the drivers (Catalyst) from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows Vista - 32
