I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
I am now getting a window coming up saying:
'The application was unable to start correctly (0xC0000142)'
when I run almost any program. A second click brings that program up normally.
My searches on this error number imply that there might be something wrong with the registry, but I do not want to run any kind of registry cleaner until I am sure that is where the problem is.
My scans for malware have not turned up anything.
If it is the registry what should I use?
If it isn't, where do I go from here?

Jump to PostUsually this error is to do with DLL initialisation. Have you tried inserting your Windows DVD and running System File Checker?
Jump to PostTry what W1NDOW5 said. Alternatively, you can always download a registry cleaner. Or you can use the windows 7 installation disk, insert it. Go to start and select run and type cmd. When DOS prompt shows, type sfc/scannow

Thanks for that, if you're trying to find a decent registry cleaner …
