It's a Race! Login Problems
 |
Ok, so I've gone to multiple tech forums and asked this same question, lets see who answers first. Fairly simple to explain a little harder to fix (so far).
When I try to log in on my computer (Windows xp) I get an error with the title "Explorer.EXE" message stating: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)"
After clicking "Ok" the computer will proceed to log in, but only my wallpaper and mouse pointer are visible. I can access the ctrl+alt+delete window and thats it.
I have tried booting from last good log in and safe mode and still got the error message.
Help me out, what else can I try?

Oh boy!! I do love a race. Given that a lot of folk first off google for answers be prepared to get the same one. You can join in... search this string: 0xC0000005

also try this in new task and check for error in system .
EventVwr.msc
If that fails to produce results ,i suggest booting to winxp cd and run the Repair type in chkdsk /f , at the prompt

I just tried event viewer and found a recent error, It reads as follows:
Source- DCOM
Category- none
Event- 10005
User- system

For reasons unkown I cannot find the 0xc0000005 error in the event viewer. I would boot using the xp cd but I don't have it. Any other suggestions?

have you tried to get into safe mode .by hitting f8 on bootup ,try it if you get to safe mode screen try safe mode with prompt ,and type in the chkdsk /fix there .note there is a space between chkdsk and the /f

Got into prompt, just normally using task manager not in safe mode, and tried to use "chkdsk /fix" and got nothing. It says " /fix" is an invalid parameter.
