[QUOTE="LongBow, post: 4432239"]
Hello all,

Not sure if this is the correct group, but this is the only group I found
that seemed to be related to cmd. Here is my problem, when I go to lanch
either Cmd.exe or Command.com I get the same error and unable to bring up a
command windows. I get the following dialogs whenever I issue the command to
start a session from the StartMenu | Run.

Cmd.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properply (0xc00000142). Click on OK to
terminated the application.

ntvdm.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properply (0xc00000142). Click on OK to
terminated the application.

Trying to figure this out on my own, I installed Windbg along with the
Windows XP SP1 symbols, but it does seems to help me determine the problem.
Here is the log
