cmd.exe generating errors

Locked

Hi there,

We have a 2K Server in our organisation that is used for SNA file transfers via Host Integration server. During transfers it throws up the following error:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 12/1/2003
Time: 7:54:32 PM
User: N/A
Computer: HOST2
Description:
Application popup: cmd.exe – Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

I have been digging around for info on this but have not found any anwers as yet. Is anyone out there familiar with this issue at all?

Cheers,

Ross

This is an indication of a corrupted dll, exe or bad script file. Do you have either of the above. If you are running SP4 (Only with SP4 see Q814510), try sfc /purgecache then sfc /scannow. this will check for unmatchable anomolies on your system. If you do not have SP4 installed, then install it. It could fix problems that exist.

Please, backup your system before doing either. Also, if you do not have virus protection installed, check that as well.
