Subject: Screen Saver Error
Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 05:42:07 -0700
I have a machine that when the screen saver tries to come
on I get the following message:
Application Error : The application failed to initialize
properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the
application.
The computer is running Windows 2000 sp3 with Internet
Explorer sp1
Thanks,
Mary

This is what that error code maps to:
C:\>err c0000142
# for hex 0xc0000142 / decimal -1073741502 :
STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED ntstatus.h
# {DLL Initialization Failed}
# Initialization of the dynamic link library %hs failed. The
# process is terminating abnormally.
# 1 matches found for "c0000142"
Troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure that the SCRNSAVE.EXE registry value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Desktop has a value of "C:\WINNT\System32\logon.scr" (without the
quotes)
- Run SFC /SCANNOW at a command prompt
- Disable antivirus software
Please let me know if any of this is helpful.
