Sorry to bother you with this, but I am trying for around three weeks now to
solve this problem and even though i have tried several virus-scanners
(Webroot, Kaspersky, and others), I can't solve it.
Problem is that I can't use a range of programs anymore because it either
comes with a:
"The application failed to initialize properly 0xc0000005" error or with a
"rundll32.exe application error" error.
The errors always appear twice.
I have the impression that rundll.exe is trying to launch two invalid or
damaged dll's but it doesn't give me information which ones, and since the
virus-scanners can't find anything, the problem keeps appearing.
In one discussion group I found a similar report, and that user installed:
"Microsoft Life - One care", which solved the problem.
I downloaded "Microsoft Life - One care" but during the install the
"expand.exe"program which is run by "guided help" provides the same error. So
although "Microsoft Life - One care" might help, I can't install it.
Other programs that I cannot start and always give me the 2 error messages
instead of starting are:
- Task manager (alt ctrl del)
- Add or remove programs
- Regional and language options
- change time (in the taskbar)
- display properties
- Firefox (no problems with MS Internet Explorer)
I try to prevent reinstalling my OS as I had too many programs installed
since last time so I would lose a lot.
Any suggestions on how to proceed are greatly appreciated.
I think that if i could detect which dll's run32dll.exe is falling to run,
that I could replace those dll's, but I do not know how to find that out.
Thanks,
Paul
