Please help - Error "Application failed to initialize: 0x80010005"

[Guest]

Hello every body.

Here is my story.

I was using MS-AntiSpyware on my PC (I was very glad of it).
A day, the software proposed me to upgrade to "Windows Defender".
I answered "Yes" : the upgrade failed and stopped ("GDIPlus" version problem).

So I updated the "gdiplus.dll" (MS-AntiSpyware was still running).

Some days later MS-AntiSpyware proposed me to upgrade to "Windows Defender"
again.
I answered "Yes" and the upgrade was successfull.

I restarted my PC and I have now (after each reboot) the following error
message (in a "Windows Defender" popup) :

"Application failed to initialize: 0x80010005. Les appels extérieurs ne sont
pas autorisés depuis un filtre de messages"

When I try to launch "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe", via
the icon in "Programs", I obtain the same message.

The Service "Windows Defender Service" (MsMpEng.exe) seems to correctly run.

For information, my PC is on Windows 2000 Pro SP4 French (with all patches
and KB).

I saw many posts about this problem but no answer by Microsoft.

I'm afraid because MS Anti-Spyware is now uninstalled of my PC and I have
no more Anti-Spyware protection.

Is there a solution to this problem ?
If there's no solution, should I wait for a Microsoft answer about this
problem or should I reinstall MS-AntiSpyware (if it is technically possible
....) ?

Best regards,

Christophe LAMBEY.

I have written a couple of times regarding the same problem. A number of
suggestions have been put forward, but nothing has worked. The program still
seems to function correctly so I have not pushed the issue. Plus the program
has its share of problems and I really don't think it's going to amount to
much.

I've almost an identical problem. My OS is Win 2k professionnal with SP4 and
all required patches and KB's. I had MS anti-Spyware and was very satisfied.
Following a crash, I re-installed windows and when I wanted later to install
MS anti-Spyware, I discovered it was outdated.
Tried with no avail of success installing WD. Got constantly the same error
english-french message :
"Application failed to initialize : 0x80010534. Le mappage entre les noms de
compte et les ID de sécurité n'a pas été effectué"
What is the issue ?
Thanks for your help
