I'm relaying a message I get from my brother.
He said yesterday night when he was on his PC it was running fine. This morning he goes to turn it on, it loads up ok, but when he tries to start some programs like AIM and Internet Explorer, he gets an error message for both that says: "The application failed to initialize. 0xc0000022".
He also gets this message for programs like WeatherBug too. However, other programs like WinAmp and even playing Poker seem to work fine.
To my knowledge he hasn't installed anything lately. I also did a virus scan which removed a few viruses but that didn't fix it. I also ran HiJack this to remove any spyware that might be on his computer but still the problem persists.
Anyone have any ideas for solutions? Thanks in advance.
