I need some help with this error (Explorer.exe and dwm.exe error both had 0xc0000006 code)
I’m not sure what brand pc i have but it is running XP SP3. Which was working just fine until i ran the “windows updates”. which download 7 different updates, 1 was the internet explorer 8 along with, 3 security, and the other 3 i am not sure of…
Heres what happens..
While the blue Windows “Welcome” screen is up during startup, a gray error box appears overlaid on it, saying “Explorer.exe – Application Error. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application.” Clicking OK brings up a second repeat of the same error message. Clicking OK a second time causes the boot to continue, but without Windows Explorer started, all that appears is completely blank blue screen with a cursor arrow.
If I try and open any files with the Task Manager, the same error message pops up with 1 difference its the “dwwin.exe – application error”.
any help wll be greatly appeciated..
