Hi All,
I would appreciate any help you can offer. I am running a laptop with XP
SP2. About a week ago I started noticing that occasionally my desktop would
clear out. That is no icons would be on the desktop, my start bar would
disapear and even using keyboard shortcuts I could not access any programs.
However, if I had a program running I could switch to it using Alt+Tab, etc.
I would have to restart the laptop to get my icons back. No error message
would present.
Yesterday though, I had to restart the laptop like usual and now while the
Windows load screens come up (I don't get to the log in screen) an error
message presents and if I click OK I get no option to log in and I obviously
do not get any idcons, programs, etc. The only thing I can do is ALT+CTRL+DEL
and the task manager only shows a "user init applicaiton error" as running
but no systme processes are running.
The error message I receive is: Userinit.exe - Application error: The
application failed to initialize proplerly (0xc0000005).
I am looking for a way to fix this without having to wipe the hardrive (or
at least let me get the info off the hardrive before reinstalling etc)
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Lucas
