Hi Jake

 

Welcome to FPCH

 

You are talking about clicking on Command Prompt (CMD) yes?

[bigboyjake]

Ye, command prompt!

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Ok

 

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and tried Last Known Good Configuration?

 

Tap F8 on boot up to get into Safe mode.

[bigboyjake]

Last known good configuration?

Sorry

No i havent tried safe mode will try it now

Thanks

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Hello and Welcome to FPCH Jake. :)

 

Are you using Windows XP SP3? If not, then I suggest you update your computer as soon as possible through the Automatic Updates. The error code you get is normally received when there is an access violation. Microsoft has released a Hotfix but it is not for command prompt. However, I suggest you give it a try and see how it goes.

 

Windows XP patch to fix the Explorer.exe stop error: 0xc0000005 (KB938828)

 

If the above Hotfix doesn't work, then it is most likely a faulty RAM module. In that case, our hardware experts will guide you through a solution. Please let us know how it turns out. Good Luck. :)
