Thanks a lot! You saved my machine from formatting. My explore.exe as soon as I logged in used to throw this error and my IT team was unable to solve this issue.

Excellent

Thanks very much

It wasn't the Windows System dll's that were the problem in my case, but some 'dll' that I had produced in my bin directory

But the suggestion above helped solve the problem

Thanks again,

Pat.

Please note. This will hurt Windows 7

I had this error when booting into normal mode. I could boot into safe mode. I know these directions were made for XP. I couldn't figure out any other way to resolve it. Even after calling Microsoft. After following these instructions I couldn't boot into either normal mode or safe mode.

I started getting this error following an upgrade of PC-DMIS from version 4.2 to Version 4.4 (PC-DMIS CAD 2009). When logged in as administrator, it worked fine. When a user logged in with Domain User or local Power User privileges, I would get this error every single time I tried to launch PC-DMIS. Using the commands you provided fixed my problem and everything seems to be working normally again. Thanks for posting this info on the web!

I have the same problem, no idea where it came from but the CACLS fix does not work and now when I turn my computer on it just gives me the desktop background and NOTHING else comes up. Infuriating. Strangely, it all seems to have happened since I allowed another user to access my computer at the start up screen.

I tried this CACLS fix (also offered in http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_015.html ).For me, it does not work. I get the same error msg as before (always repeated twice).I am running Windows XP, SP3.

I haven't had any problems since I started running Linux almost eight years ago. Try it, you might start to enjoy it.

I got this (0xc0000022) msg every time I click on Safari, IE or Firefox. I can go on line with Net Zero BUT no browser opens up. I tried the above suggestion in the RUN box and the errors are still coming up. All of this has come onto my desktop since I did a lot of windows updates last week, including service pack 3.

If anyone has any suggestions, please email me a johnnyboy1@rocketmail.com as I cannot get on the Net with my desktop right now. I also tried Regcure and got nowhere with that either, thanks for anyone's help out there.

I had the same problem. After I read the comment about Nod32 I desintalled all antiviruses that I had in my computer. Then I can run the programs, specially Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Me too did this post: http://foro.noticias3d.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=203069. Thanks for all.

Doesnt look like a good week for Eset – they released a firewall update last night which has broken one of our custom in-house apps.
Not related to this issue, but the reply from Eset was;

"We released a firewall update overnight and it does seem to have caused some issues. Our developers will be releasing a FIX shortly so if you can bear with us the fix should hopefully sort your issues out.

We got this reply from Eset support:

"There was a problem with update 3435 and it actually got pulled from the servers, it appeared to affect users trying to logon to a network environment, this was fixed with 3436 and only seemed to affect north America as they were the only ones working in that kind of environment so we did not see the same issues in the rest of the world as such.

It also seem to only affect v3.0.657, you should make sure that you have the latest build of the software installed currently v3.0.672

Interesting. I'm running NOD32 also, I didn't think to check that. About an hour after I posted this the problem reoccurred, and then the power supply in my computer died. I replaced that and when I rebooted the problem was gone. I wasn't paying attention, but it's entirely possible that there was a NOD32 update that was automatically applied when I booted up on the new PSU.

..interesting…
We use NOD as well – at 3437 presently, have got a lot of machines out there with this installed on, hope we've not a big problem on the way..
