Wiimote Project

Whenever I try to run the program it seems to crash during startup. It says "learning" for about 1-2 seconds before windows reports that the program has stopped working. If during that time I stop the learning process I can still boot the program fully without any wiimote detected. Any idea as to what is going on? I've tried to install .net framework 3.5 among other basic troubleshooting steps.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64
crash report:
