Re: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application"

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance




I am having the same problem as Thaimor. I recently had a virus on my
computer which made me completely format my hd. I put on xp and
everything seemed fine but now everytime I try to put anything into my
DVDRW (Sony DRU-800a), I get the message "The application
failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate
the application". Or sometimes: "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or
WriteProcessMemory was completed".

I've read it could be many things like: bad cd, bad drive, toggling
the DMA/PIO modes, malware, 80pin IDE cable instead of 40pin.

My system is clean of any malware because I've formatted and run virus
scans. It's not a bad cd because its happens to all my cds/dvds. Its
not the drive, because it works perfectly fine if I boot from it or
read from it outside of windows. It worked perfectly fine before the
format. I've tried repairing the xp install. I guess I haven't tried
switching to a 80pin cable. I will try that. Is there anyone that can
follow up on this question? What else can I try?

Also, the dvdrw lets me explore some cds but it wont let me execute any
files. It just sort of lags and freezes when I try.

I did go to http://winhlp.com/node/10 and use their vbs to reset some
DMA settings which actually worked! I ran some cds for a little while
and then it stopped working again. PLEASE HELP!!! :-/
