Hard to fix application error! Pls help me!

[Adelbert09]

I have an application error that says - "The application failed to initialize properly(0x0000034). Click ok to terminate the program".

When ever my computer starts this error always appear and not just that I cannot open Windows movie maker, photo scape, and I cannot even update my windows media player because that error always appear when ever I'm opening these programs. Please help me! I already tried installing the ".net framework" but it didn't work.

Please help me! :S

This error weirdly can be caused if your MS runtimes are stuffed, like .NET runtimes....
Download the latest version of .Net Framework....

See if it works, else just Download

Trend Micro HijackThis 2.0.2
Install it and click on 'Run a scan and save the logfile'.

Provide the logfile of Hijackthis Here, so that we can chk if there is any unusual stuff

[Adelbert09]

I did what you have said. ".net framework" didn't worked. I also download the HijackThis program and here is the log file:

[Godsp3ed]

HJT log looks OK, did you update your PC lately?? Which version of Windows Media Player are you using??

Download CCleaner 2.18.878
, install it, under 'Cleaner' (windows and applications TAb) select all and click on 'Analyze' and then 'Run Cleaner'...
Now Under 'Registry' select all and click on 'Scan For Issues' And then 'Fix Selected Issues'...Now Reboot the computer.

Which OS are you using , WinXP or WinVista?

Boot your computer in safe mode and then do a system restore.

Just go to start ----> Accessories---->System Tools--->System Restore.

If you have already made a restore point ,then use that one or you can simply use the default restore point.
If the system restore doesnot do the job,then simply reinstall the windows.
