.Net error

[LMO]

Hello all.
I started getting the following error upon bootup:
".NET Framework Initialization Error:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\mscowrks.dll could not be
loaded"

What can I do to correct it? The error windows comes up as soon as the
first screen initializes upon bootup.
I found an article in the MS Knowledgebase about it
(http://support.microsoft.com/search...=.NET+Framework+Initialization+Error&x=8&y=13)
, but all it does is describe it, not say how to correct it. Anyone have any
idea how to correct this so I don't continually get that error msg on
bootup?
Thanks.

There are lots of reasons behind this error.Has it started after
installation of ATI Radeon graphic card?
You may install the .NET Service pack to fix the issue.

Thank you. Where do I find the >NET service Pack?

Okay, I found and installed the .NET SP on the MS update site. However, I am
still getting the same error upon reboot. Any other suggestions?
You were right. I installed an ATI Radeon 9600 card. Why would that affect
whatever this is?
Again, thanks.

Hello all.

They confirm a bug in the .NET framework (mscorwks.dll is its main run
time library). Now if your message says specifically mscowrks.dll (a
file that does not exist) then there is a fault in the program you are
trying to run; if it is mscorwks then the program is hitting the bug.

Either way try to identify what program it is; Start - Run and run
MSConfig.exe; try identifying on the Startup page; copy Command column
entries into a Start - run to see if the message arises. Then uncheck
that line, and consult the people who provided the program, referring to
the KB article 327434

As far as the bug goes, MS have confirmed its existence but not yet got
as far even as a work-around

Thanks, Alec. That did it. There was a hidden ATI app running at startup.
Killed it!
