userinit.exe

[Pat]

I'm going to try this again...Upon starting up my XP Home
system, I'm now getting the
error: userinit.exe - Application Error The application
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006).

Any idea how to get past/fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

You need to reset your user/access for privacy on your

PC. Userinit.exe is a Windows/system32 file, but also an
I386 file. Go to below URL, Click "M" and read "Make
Folders Private"
Windows XP from A-Z

What info do you have that points this to a private folders problem? Here is
what userinit.exe is:
Userinit
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Description
Specifies the programs that Winlogon runs when a user logs on. By default,
Winlogon runs Userinit.exe, which runs logon scripts, reestablishes network
connections, and then starts Explorer.exe, the Windows user interface.

I don't see what private folders has to do with this. Do you have a link to
your source of info or is this just more wrong answers? I would suggest the
op do: start, run, type in: sfc /scannow, hit ok.
This will fix/replace any corrupted system files.
