Hi,
I have 2 user accounts and could not log on to either of them. I was getting a message stating "Application failed to initialize" I was also getting an error message Oxc0000142.
I tried starting in safe mode but it was going straight to a blue screen which states "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. There is some technical info with some error codes Ox00000024, Ox00190203, Ox82B85A50, Oxc0000102, Ox00000000.
I also tried starting with last known good configuration but that also didn't work. Occasionally it is not even trying to boot but just making funny noises.

Any ideas or am I a lost cause?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
