Thank you so much for your help, AdarshN, but it does not seem to be solved as I thought.

It's back! I tried to use the command prompt and received cmd.exe crashed message, now not with the 0xc000007b error code, but still with ntdll.dll on the details.

Then, following the instructions of point 6 on the page of your link, I disabled Data Execution Prevention for cmd.exe and it stopped crashing if I call cmd.exe directly, but it crashes if I try to use a (not installed) little program from AMD for CPU ID which displays the information about the CPU on a command line window. The Update Checker issue was back too. Then, I rebooted as advised after the Data Execution Prevention settings. It did not boot. I used the Windows DVD to recover with System Restore. There were 3 updates, I don't know how because I hadn't turned them on yet because I was investigating the issue; they should be drievers. I took the most recent restore point and it booted again.

I'm lost and don't know whether the HD bad sectores were from the issue or the otther way round, so I left HDD Regenerator find any bad sectors iver night and cure them. This time there were 2. Before I'd find about 40.

As I have all my files in 2 other HDs, I didn't touch them. I formatted the HD with the OS/MBR where I place the OS and all programs, …

Yes, I did think on the NTdll possibility because it is mentioned on the eror notice, but I have no idea of what to do.

I read the page yopu suggested. I believe my case is on point 2. I am not sure about point 13 because I had lots of bad sectors on a large disk I use to save things as a "store", no OS or programs escept for a Firefox profile. I repaired them all with HDD Regenerator.

I tried with Update Checker because it is the smallest program I have (the installer is only 152KB). I unistalled, downloades a fresh installer and reinstalled. It worked! No error came up!

From what I read on your link, the issue can have several origins, so I can't say this is solved. I'll see in time and with the use. As I told you, I have not reinstalled anything yet aside Update Checker, but now, after your help and having an idea of the issue, I am going to reinstall everything, like MS Office and all the others. So I only ask you to help me further if I really need it, that is if I the issue comes back and I can't find a solution on the site you recommended.

Thank you very much. I am much more grateful for having looked for so long without a sparkle of success.

Yes, I did restore it to a very early point, as I wrote on the second paragraph after the Microsoft link. I noticed the video driver had gone, too, but no cure for thr issue.

Thanks for the answer.

No, I didn't touch the registery, it's a new installation and the same error happens.

All the changes I made were installing WinPatrol and onlky downloaded some windows updates. One of them, I think it was the video driver for the mboard because the display did change for better, but bewfore installation appeared the notice saying the driver was not signed and asking if I wanted to use it. I answered yes. As I did not install any driver it could be from the Windows update only. I also installed Firefoz, and that were all the changesI applied.

Do you think it can be from the .Net Framework? Onde of the many oposts I read said iy was, but there was no explication and no solution, I never found one.

Hello,

I have a problem I have looked for a solution almost everywhere. I've made searches in the internet and read lots os foruns, including Microsoft's and this one. I found many posts regarding the issue, both with XP and Vista, but none really resolved or with a solution that I could use. There were originated by Symantec, but I never had it. I wanted to be sure the issue was not from the antivirus. I've spent many hours through several days searching without a result, so I'd be very happy for any useful help.

This appeared some time ago. When I try to open some programs, even very simple ones, or instal others as McAfee, I get a notice "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click OK to terminate the application." The program details are as the following example:

I have a problem with my internet connections. I have tried all I know but couldn’t solve it. Is there someone kind to give me a tip, plz?

My internet connections work ok, but don’t accept changing settings or adding any new connection. It gives Error 624 when trying changing settings, or says some files are missing when trying to set up a new connection. But when I check up all files are there. Even so, I replaced those files with new ones from the original Windows XP CD. No way, doesn’t work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the internet connection with the CD without any result. Now I need to replace my DSL connection with a new one and can’t do it.

Is there any sympathetic soul to help me on this stress? Thank you for any welcome help.

Confused

I have Windows XP Professional. I have seven working connections in the Network Connections window. The problem is that I cannot modify any existing connection or add a new one. I have not tried to delete any of them because I’m afraid to succeed and not be able to remake it.

There are several ways to modify a connection but I always receive the same answer with all of them. For instance, in the Network Connections window, on the left side of the I click “Change settings of this connection and I make the changes I want. When I finish I click OK and I get this answer: “Cannot write phonebook. Error 624: The system could not update the phone book file. I looked up the error messages list in the help and support. but the reasons given does not apply. I have tried to edit the Rasphone.pbk. file and even replaced it, but the problem continued just the same.

When I try to create a new dial-up connection with the Internet Connection Wizard (inetwiz.exe), when I get to the last window and press Finish, I get the answer: “Windows cannot create a new dial-up connection for your Internet service provider. Try creating a connection by double-clicking Dial-Up Networking in My Computer. Dial-Up Networking is …
