"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142)"
I get this message after logging into Windows XP sp3. The explorer interface doesn't show, so I have to press ctrl+alt+del, select task manager, and start explorer by going to file-new task. Then everything seems fine.
i ran anti-virus and am clean and ran disk defrag. i also ran Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and got the following. can you help?
