I haven't tried the public build on Windows yet, but I do have the 
latest git code running fine on Windows 7. You shouldn't have to run 
Banshee in compatibility mode, and you *definitely* shouldn't run it as 
administrator (you shouldn't run anything as administrator, really, but 
that's a different topic entirely).

The error you posted looks like something the JIT debugger would spit 
out. Is there a way to expand the dialog you get to see the rest of the 
message and the traceback? If so, please post that so we can have a 
little more insight into what's happening.

Depending on when the crash actually occurs, you may have some 
information in the log. Please check 
C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Roaming\banshee for a log file and have a 
look at its contents.

Let us know if you find anything more.
