We recently had a case in Product Support and it was a tricky scenario to troubleshoot. In this case, the Journal files in Revit pointed us in the right direction. When launching Revit 2012 on Windows XP x64, we were getting the following error:

With the Journal file, we were able to confirm that one of the 3rd party Add-ins/Plug-ins was causing the problem.
