I think I posted this under the wrong forum... I put it in the Malware Removal forum... but was getting no replies! :whistling: here it is... hopefully in the right spot

I have a computer where it's getting a Explorer.exe Application error dialog at start up... The error goes on to say 'Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)

I read on one post where it was suggest to make this change to the registry:

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RPCKDM]

With no luck... still getting blank desktop... anyone have any suggestions? I've tried running Ad-Aware from task manager, but get the error when I try to run the ad-aware.exe... This is on a Windows XP system. The screen saver come on after a bit, and then after a little while longer, we get the following dialog box:

RUNDLL
Error loading newdev.dll
Invalid access to memory location

Help! :blink:
