Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc0000022) after KB927

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP 2.

After installing KB927891 using the automatic update from the Administrators
ID, I found my limited access ID getting numerous "Application failed to
initialize properly (0xc0000022)" errors. (The following programs got the
error: ACTray, ACMLIcon, scheduler_proxy, pdservice, PIFSvc, osCheck, ccApp,
reader_sl.)

I went back to the Administrator ID and all worked fine. Back to the
limited ID, same errors. From the Administrator's ID I granted administrator
authority to the limited ID and the limited ID now worked fine. I removed
Administrator authority and the limited ID got all the errors again.

I removed KB927891 and tried the limited ID again - still got all the errors.

Are my problems caused by some quirk in KB927891 or are my problems a
coincidence? I've read about many successes with KB927891 but I did find one
posting by someone in England (on another board) with what sounded like the
same problem. His "fix" was to restore his system to pre-KB927891 - I hope
to not have to do that. Anyone have a better solution?

Hi,

Same here, and system restore did not resolve it. Traced fairly
readily with the 3'rd part "depends" utility.

So you will need to check that the correct permissions have been set
for a couple of .dll's in c\;\windows\system32.

They are msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll. I used the command line program
cacls.exe to check the current permisisons for these files, then
granted read permission - ie BUIILTIN\Users:R

We have same problem after 23 May installation of KB927891 on XP-Pro SP2.

At login, Admin Accounts seem okay, but Power Users receive error message
"Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc0000022)" for these three:
"osCheck.exe" "ccApp.exe" and "PIFSvc.exe"

Last week problem spread to "acrobat_sl.exe" and Acrobat-Pro won't run for
Power Users. Today the problem spread to "uiStub.exe" and NIS2007 protection
no longer runs for Power Users; Symantec Tech Support could not resolve with
three attempts today. It seems to be a Windows-XP problem.

Does anyone know if Microsoft is addressing this issue? Please let me know
if you learn the cause and solution.

Thank you, Al

Hi

So did you attempt the solution that worked for me, posted above?

Don--Just did; you were right--it worked!
Also, it resolved the initialization problems for Acrobat-Pro and NIS2007.
Our Users can now resume work without having Admin privledges.
Thank you--Al

P.S. You might want to cross-post your solution to the other two threads
addressing the same problem. Hope MS gets this into an update for the sake
of all their other users.

Hi

Don's method worked for me too but I've noticed that when logging in as a Limited Account" I could Add a Printer and install some software.

Does giving read access to those DLLs result in that ?

(In explorer, I could not view other peoples documents which is expected behaviour.)

Thanks

David

Hi Al
Could you possibly show, key stroke by key stroke, what you typed onto the
command line?
I have the same 3 files as yourself but no real expertise in order to follow
don's instructions.
Many thanks
Ron

Is it possible to show what you typed into the command line, as I have little
expertise? I have same 3 files with error message.

Ron,

Take this slowly if you are not familiar with the command line.

1. Go to the command prompt - i.e click "Run", type in "cmd" - without the quotes - then press enter.

2. In the big black window (expand it), type after the prompt character (>)

>cd \ press Enter
>cd windows\system32 press Enter
>cacls msvc*.71 press Enter

You should get a list of file access permissions for at least two files - msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll.

Have a good look and check whether this includes "BUILTIN\Users:R" for the above files.

>exit press enter

Come back here for the next step.

I take no responsiblity for any problems whasoever that may result from incorrect actions.
