I dl an update for acrobat and when I restarted my computer I get the error:
The application failed to initialize properly (Oxc0000005). Click on ok to terminate the application.
At that point I can't get a desktop, icons, or into any programs. I just see the wallpaper on my desktop with nothing on it. No task bar either. HELP

Run the Kaspersky TDSS killer, follow the link http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363Go through the steps of the website. This cured it for me. By the way, do not click on the rogue messages, just move them to the side of your screen. In my case I could still start explorer, to access kaspersky. Hope this is helpfull.

Ok so i decided to trust some site that told me to download something- i got desperate.The way I did this was listening to toehr about their adive to NOT use IE. So I went in to the New task in task manager- i then found google chrome and although it said it wasn't working- it did! Then I opened up: http://www.brothersoft.com/error-scan-and-fix-56095.html Then I downloaded it, despite all the lies about it not working from teh error popups. Then I new task ran the software- it opened! Like it actually allowed a program to run! woo hoo- it's not finished running- but so far I have A TON of issues. I can also tell by the research I did- i must've had a virus, because apparently my firewall was down in msconfig system info cmd and I wasn't able to turn on (b/c of the damn error). Ok all- i'll update with results soon- I'm so tired of giving up my evening for this when all i wanted to do was gym, clean, and cook... not sit at a laptop like a bump on a log! xoxo

hi, people.. i myself have been reading up a lot on these so called access violation errors, namely 0xc0000005. For myself this directly related to windows media player. I had installed both an xp home and xp pro in dual boot.. for a while, say an hour things were ok. Then after many updates and some more reconfiguring, one version then the other seemed to end up with this blocking error. Some other parts relating to installing i.e explorer 8 also ocurred and i was also left with an empty desktop, and a small update box trying to configure my browser settings which never finished. Anyway after several reboots.. trying to disable execution prevention which was an apparent success in windows.
Again i tried to start media player and got the same 0xc0000005 error....Frustration !!!! ive seen a lot of people saying about examining long error files etc ( may aswell be a programmer if youre going to do all that in my opinion.)
I also tried to uninstall some parts of windows via add or remove programs.Once again i got an application denial..relating to lack of privilege etc...this was badly annoying.. anyway i used several so called "utilities" and none could find any errors . Though some said they might if i bought their product .bollocks!!!! The upshot of all this is... most of these application errors arent coming from windows or their updates !!!.... easy to slag off M.S i know but mostly its not them ... whats happening isnt a corrupt registry as such, you will see this when these downloaded products fail to find anything really a miss..!!!! whats happening is a third party utility is protecting the registry entries and failing to recognize elements of windows as normal parts of the O/S and its apllications..so when you try to execute a command you get access denial or apllication failed to initailize and an error code ! make sure you configure your windows system correctly first before applying any third party protection to be certain of avoiding such problems..ive found the likes of avast is ok but some firewalls such as online armour free version 5 are particularly troublesome in respect to the above..uninstall the likes of this firewall and your registry will become open again to windows !! then choose whatever works for you as firewall protection...hopefully you wont have any problems after doing so.. but if these to fail to read your system properly , again remove and try something else.. i know this original post is a little old, but ive seen a lot of posts here and elsewhere relating to the above.. also there isnt much on microsoft's site relating to the specific error.. 0x00000050 is meant to be a problem in relation to memory on the lines of an illegal access.. and 0xc0000005 looks similar and does act similar but states failed to initialize usually. Anyway hope i didnt ramble too much, hope this helps some people out cos it can be a real pain in the ass !!!

In my case Internet Explorer 8 was not starting and giving this error message (it would start in safe mode).
I found that the cloud-based anti-malware program Prevx was causing the error.

What I'm seeing on the other sites is that this relates to one of the service packs. I have lost the .exe files therefore I can't run this program. However, I'm told to start in safe mode, and enter C:\Windows\system32\Restore\Rstrui.com once it's loaded go back in and change the .com to .exe
Wish me luck folks.

I don't know if this works in every case, but it did work fror me. This error occured for me when I got a new computer with Windows Vista. In the tp left corner of the pop-up, I noticed hp and some numbers. Since I had read the some people found that the error did not occur when their printer was on, I thought that it had something to do with the printer. I was advised to update the printer driver by going on the manufacturer's website (in this case HP)and ask for any updates on my printer driver. Sure enough, with the updates, the problem disappeared.

Don't know the cause, but here's a solution.
When you get the error, click on OK to close the box. You'll return to the blue screen. Click Ctrl-Alt-Delete. After window opens, click on "new task" and type in: explorer.exe. Hit enter, and your desktop will return.I have the same problem and explorer tends to be sluggish when activating it this way.
cheers man this worked great i sugest to everyone out there still stuck on the problem where you cant see your deskstop icons etc to do this cause it worked for me and it was the only thing that worked for me....thanks again tom

so I tried all the necessary steps in order to restore windows, but when I enter in "C:\windows\system32\restore\rstui.exe" I get a pop-up box that says the program was unable to initialize, basically giving me the option to dump it, or send the results to microsoft. I also get the error that "C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstui.exe" cannot be located. This is extremely frustrating!! I cant get into IE no matter what I try!! Gonna try booting off CD then going into system restore that way through DOS.
Any other ideas?

For those of you who can't see the Task Manager button active when you Ctrl+ALT+Del, log on using the local 'Administrator' account instead of another account with Adminstrator priviledges. You'll get an 'Active' Task Manager button. You may then try to File- New Task (Run..) to proceed. I hope this will help.

My PC is finally back to normal. What I had was a virus called w32/Alemod.f.dll. McAfee did detect it when I ran VirusScan in safe mode, but it can't delete, quarantine or clean the file because the infected file, wininet.dll is a required file and is in use when windows is operating. I worked with a technician from McAfee to fix the problem which cost $29.95, but at that time I just wanted it taken care of. All he did was find a clean version of that file in another location on my pc and replaced the infect file. Sounds so easy now. My advice would be to run your virus scan in safe mode and see if that shows up. If you don't have a virus scan, go to McAfee's web site and download their free trial version, then reboot in safe mode. If you lost your icons, explorer, and task bar, you definitely have some type of virus, but you'll be surprised how easy it is to get rid of it. Once you find the infected file, if you google the name you most likely find hundreds of sites like this one with people explaining alternatives to fixing your pc.

I, too, have the same problem. Brand spanking new computer (we're talking 1 week) Dell Inspiron. Last night got slammed with some spyware program that I thought I successfully removed. Turned on laptop this evening and got the "Explorer.exe - application failed to initialize propery (0xc0000005). Click on ok to terminate application" - I have no option to click on ANY icons or anything. Just my wallpaper shows. No icons, no start menu. HELP!!! :( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the same EXACT same problem i am getting. However when i press Ctrl -> Alt -> Delete i have all the normal options "Lock Computer" -- "Log Off..." -- "Shut Down" -- "Change Password" -- "Cancel"...however the Task Manager option is not available. It's grey and not-clickable and since there is no Taskbar i cannot bring it up from there. Is there any solution to this besides getting a new hard-drive or re-installing my OS (Windows Server 2003), because when i use the install disc for installing Windows Server 2003 it does not prompt me for repair like Windows XP does. Please help.

I have a similar problem. When I boot up I first get a pop-up window from McAfee that says that ActiveShield has detected a suspicious file and that I should run a scan. Then during the rest of the boot up process I get the 0xc0000005 error for explorer.exe and another error for Outlook. I don't have explorer, task bar, desktop icons or Outlook though I can access most of my critical programs through the task manager. I have run several other virus scans and tried re-running explorer from task manager with no luck. Does anybody have any suggestions? Would a last resort be refomatting the hard drive and reinstalling my programs?

This is the first (and hopefully the last!) time I'll be at this website, but I wanted to thank the folks who advised doing a system restore. The first time I tried it, I went back to a restore date that I KNOW was before when the problem occurred, but it still didn't work. The second time I tried it, I went back a few weeks before, selected that date, and now everything is fine.Needless to say, I'm installing antivirus software as I type this. Cheers everyone, and thank you!

I recently had the same problem... and I fixed it pretty quickly with the following process.
If you are running Windows XP... click Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Windows Task Manager... then go to File and select New Task(Run...) Type in the search box:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe click OK and this should bring you to the System Restore program that Windows XP has built into it. Then just follow the steps to restore your computer to how it was at an earlier time before the problem. Then just reboot your computer and it should be fine and still have all your files, folders, and programs intact ********************************************************************
THANKS SO MUCH GGBOSTON IT WORKED!!!

I have the same problem. Internet explorer didn't work when I tried to put in run >> iexplore, so I went on another computer to get Mozilla Firefox. I went on Mozilla's website and downloaded the installer onto a disc, and then went back to my messed up computer. I inserted the disc and went to run >> browse >> d:\ drive, found the installer, and tried to install it. It didn't work (gave me some unknown error or something) and so I did the same thing with the Opera browser, which is what I ended up using. It works fine, and now I can actually get on the internet even though there isn't any taskbar or icons. Just go onto the task manager, hit File >> New Task (Run) >> Browse >> C:\ Drive >> Program Files >> Opera >> Opera, (or Run >> C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe if that's where you put it on the installation). Now this doesn't exactly solve the problem, but at least you have an internet connection by which you can download a patch from a microsoft website or something. And Opera works better than internet explorer anyways.Other information: System Restore displayed an empty window when I tried to run it, and it only popped up after I tried to run it twice. Diagnostic setup under Run >> msconfig didn't help, nor did a restart in safe mode. I have WinFixer on my system which has annoyed me to no end, but I don't think it could have caused this. Maybe the removal tools I downloaded did this? I downloaded HijackThis, Sbybot S&D, Ad-Adware SE Personal, Window Washer (Webroot, free trial), and a Spy Sweeper demo. All of these things seemed reputable, but none of them worked. Also, I have Norton Antivirus 2006 which is being entirely uncooprative. No scans or LiveUpdate for me. It gives me a "please re-install" message. I was at another forum, and ran across this site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341. I can't find my disc though. May help one of you. Good luck.

People I had the same problem after a spyware sweep by ad aware and spybod S&D. A dialer has sneaked into my system. I ran the above applications but they did not manage to remove it. Each time Windows would boot, explorer would crash (2 or 3 messageboxes would pop up mentioning the "Application Could Start 0xc0000005 error). The solution is to use the system restore. When windows finally boot the explorer does not launch. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and when the task manager pops up run the following program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe Select the earliest restore point that suits you and restore. That should do the trick!

I have tried to run the restore like others have suggested earlier but when my restore box opens, its empty...As in the box opens but does not load. This is happening in reg mode and in safe mode.
So I am stuck.
I am not computer savy at all. Think of me as a 5 year old trying to get this thing back in order.
I don't know what else to do. I have tried everything each person has suggested here, searched google some more and still haven't been able to fix it...Don't know if the restore window would have helped since it won't load.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Does anyone even know WHY this is happening?
Off to *try* to find original disks that came with this computer.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I had the same problem tonight (explorer.exe failed to initialize). I did what ggboston posted and it worked great. BUT first you have to start your computer in safe mode. Boot and press "F8", then arrow up to "safe mode" and hit return. Then do what ggboston suggested below:"From: ggboston on 02/12/2006
I recently had the same problem... and I fixed it pretty quickly with the following process. If you are running Windows XP... click Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Windows Task Manager... then go to File and select New Task(Run...) Type in the search box:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\rstrui.exe click OK and this should bring you to the System Restore program that Windows XP has built into it. Then just follow the steps to restore your computer to how it was at an earlier time before the problem. Then just reboot your computer and it should be fine and still have all your files, folders, and programs intact "

I'm in the same loop and I tried numerous solutions to fix it. In Microsoft support you might find something for this problem, I will hopefully post that link soon. I'm hoping that might be the right solution for this bug, lets see. Anyone else has any other solution please post it. Thanks

I did the restore from Safe Mode, Administrator, and it worked, finally. At first, it said it wouldn't open because it couldn't find wininet.dll, which I had renamed based on a prior post (that fix didn't work). So, using ctrl-alt-delete, I brought up task manager again, went to File <New Task> found the renamed file, renamed it back to wininet.dll, then went and found the Restore folder in C:\Windows\System32, clicked on rstui.exe inside the folder and hit OK. This brought up the Restore screen where I picked an earlier date that I knew was OK and on reboot, the laptop booted up like it's supposed to. Gotta be patient because every time you click on anything in Task Manager you'll get a message that tskmgr.exe failed to launch so you have to keep hitting OK then keep typing till you get the file loaded you want. Have no clue what caused this, it was a co-worker's computer. All I know is it's now working. Thanks!

open your taskmanager and click file > new task.Type in C:\Windows\System32 and search for this file: wininet.dll Rename that file to wininet.old, and reboot the computer. That will hopefully mean that Windows will drag another one up from the dllcache to replace it. If you are unable to find the wininet.dll, go here: www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?wininet and download the file (you will have to do this from your computer then transfer it across), and place it here: C:\Windows\System32
___________________ Reboot and see if the error still exists

Don't know the cause, but here's a solution.When you get the error, click on OK to close the box. You'll return to the blue screen. Click Ctrl-Alt-Delete. After window opens, click on "new task" and type in: explorer.exe. Hit enter, and your desktop will return. I have the same problem and explorer tends to be sluggish when activating it this way.

exact same problem, i have to run programs through the new task in the ctrl+alt+delete thingi have turned my firewall off because it constantly shuts down games while im playing them, maybe its a trojan? i ran the virus scans and deleted all the found files, but it made no difference... and all of the instructions on the internet try to fix it by running an explorer.exe program! they try to make you go to the start bar when the problem you are trying to solve deletes it! so frustrating!!!!

When I clicked on the internet explorer icon I got the message "failed to initialize properly Oxc0000005". My computer worked in all respects except that I could not access the internet with Explorer 6 and the other internet icons on my screen showed the same message. I had Mozilla Firefox on my screen and that worked to access the internet. Also I could access the internet by going into Explorer and clicking on the icon. I finally thought that Eplorer 6 had been corrupted when I upgraded(laugh!)Adobe Reader. I reinstalled Windows 2000 and solved all my problems.

I, too, have the same problem. Brand spanking new computer (we're talking 1 week) Dell Inspiron. Last night got slammed with some spyware program that I thought I successfully removed. Turned on laptop this evening and got the "Explorer.exe - application failed to initialize propery (0xc0000005). Click on ok to terminate application" - I have no option to click on ANY icons or anything. Just my wallpaper shows. No icons, no start menu. HELP!!! :(

This error happed to me this morning.
Last night everything fine - I boot this morning and I get this error message screen on my desktop saying I'm infected (I wasn't) and when I remove the screen and reboot - wham!! NOTHING BUT BLUE! No task bar - no icons - nothing.
I attempt to start explorer.exe from the task list, and it gives me the same two error messages - it can't initialize. I did notice before the reboot, however, that my firewall (XP) was turned off - I don't usually turn it off (but might have for some reason). I'm stuck until someone posts a solution for the problem that works.

the same thing happens with me and the only way in can go on the internet is through my documents(or some other program) clicking on internet on address bar and even when I do that my internet iz still very slow. So im hoping that maybe there is some program that I can download for the corrupted oxc0000005 file, or what im supposed to do.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;873155&Product=windowsxpsp2if for some reason you have a spyware removal program queued to run at login time this can cause the same situation as what is described. In my situation adaware didn't fully remove all objects because I had a browser open and it asked me if it wanted to have it remove the rest of the object next time I boot, I said yes and well went into this login, explorer.exe error loop. When I followed the above article adaware lanched before the explorer shell and after it did it's business and I closed adaware the explorer shell launched as expected.
