Inkscape fails to start correctly 0xc0000005

Hello Experts,

I have Windows 8, 64bit and recently installed Inkscape on to my PC. When I tried to run Inkscape, its giving me an error saying “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). Click OK to close the application”. I tried uninstalling the application and reinstalling but it won’t work. Just to add that I upgraded my PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Could this be the problem? Please Help. Thanks.

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000005). – Click OK to close the application.
