It would help to know what O/S and system spec's you have.
Inventor uses Excel for Hole and Thread and requires that it be run at least once so that Excel can be registered and the Microsoft EULA be accepted.
Did you follow all the pre-requesites when you installed Inventor.
1.) Logged in with Admin Priviledges
2.) UAC slider was set to it's lowest setting
3.) Depending on what type of A/V software you are running, it may need to be disabled for Inventor to register properly.

Odd, that IV is calling for that much memory, I would be included to use the ADSK un-install tool and remove IV, reboot the system and re-install. You might try re-registering IV before and see if that helps. Try logging in as a different user (could be a bad user profile).
Register Inventor:
1) Press [Windows] key to open Windows' start page
2) Type "cmd" to find "Command Prompt" > right mouse click on it > select "Run as administrator"
3) On "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type cd "c:\program files\autodesk\Inventor 2014\bin" > Enter
4) Type inventor /install > Enter
5) Wait for 1 min (inventor will be executed background then exit silently)
Resetting an Inventor User’s Local Environment
Issue:
Inventor used to work and now it or parts seem to have an issue.
Solution:
We have found that fully resetting the users environment will force Inventor to rebuild the users
environment from scratch resolves many of these type of issues.
The steps are as follows (Please substitute as appropriate for your version):
1. Exit Inventor
2. Open Regedit
3. Rename
a. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\Current Version
b. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\Current Version.org
4. Rename
a. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion0.0
b. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion0.0.org
5. Rename
a. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion18.0
b. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion18.0.org
6. Exit Regedit
7. Rename
a. C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Inventor 2014
b. C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Inventor 2014.org
8. Rename
a. C:\Users\hollanb\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2014
b. C:\Users\hollanb\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Inventor 2014.org
9. Start Inventor and test.
Note:
RegistryVersion18.0 = Inventor Release 2014
RegistryVersion17.0 = Inventor Release 2013
RegistryVersion16.0 = Inventor Release 2012
RegistryVersion15.0 = Inventor Release 2011
RegistryVersion14.0 = Inventor Release 2010

I will explain 2 techniques for screen capture (what version of Windows are you running)?
Go to the Windows "globe" icon in lower left corner of screen and click on it.
Just above that start typing Snipping....
And above that under Programs you should see Snipping Tool - click on that.
This will load the Windows Snipping Tool for doing screen captures.
The alternative techinque
Hit the Print Screen key upper left corner of the keyboard to capture entire screen to the Windows Clipboard
(or Alt Print Screen for an active window/dialog) and then start Paint as shown above.
Ctrl v to copy the contents of the Windows Clipboard into Paint.
Save the file (and pay attention to where you are saving it) as a PNG file and then attach the file here.
Shouldn't be a problem, you can either use the File>Export>Image as and select BMP, JPG, Gif and PNG as formats. If you don't like this, you can also install the "Screenshot" from the ExchangeApps. This will give you a bit more control if you want a white-screen of capture the existing view. You also have the quick ability to print or copy to clipboard with this app.
