The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005).

[Jason Bell]

I've been developing with the .net framework 2.0 since it's release
with no problems. It has suddenly stopped working.

When I try to execute any .net application a popup with the following
error appears twice in succession:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on
OK to terminate the application.

Event Viewer gives the following information:

Category: none
Company name: microsoft corporation
date: 7/26/2006
Event ID: 26
File Name: ntdll.dll
File Version: 5.1.2600.2180
Product Name: Microsoft Windows Operating System
Product Version: 5.1.2600.2180
Source: Application Popup
Time: 11:57:47 PM
Type: Information

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried the manual
uninstallation instructions in msdn. I've tried uninstalling and
reinstalling vs.net 2005. No joy.

Hello Jason,

The error points that problem in the Windows dll, not the .NET FW one.
Try to (re)install latest Windows Service Pack
