Ok here is a dilly of a pickle. I run windows XP home, and about every ten minutes or so a that says "vpvlmr.exe: The application failed ot initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application" I click on OK and it goes away. However, when I try to open some programs (such as iTUNES, a program for a class of mine, an anti-adware program, etc.)the same message come up but with the appropraite application in place of vpvlmr.exe. My net browser is Mozilla and flash no longer works. I ahve tried to reload it, but to no avail. I AM DESPERATE!!!!!! The problem first arose, I think, after I downloaded a windows update (hotfix if you will). THanks for your help

I have run an anti-spyware, but not in safe mode. My anti-virus program is not wokring b/c of this problem. ANy suggestions? Thanks

have you run the anti-virus in safe mode? if not do so.

my anti-virus program (norton 2002) isn't working even in safe mode. Any sugestions about this. I ran my anti-spyware program in safe mode and the problem still persists. (by the way I have tried a system restore and it did not work)

[nestorey]

can you access the internet? if so download avg anti-virus from downloads.com. install it in safe mode and run it in safe mode. also download hijackthis! from the same site. create a hijacklog and post it on the hijack forum of this site. let me know what happens with the virus.

Greetings Teddy,
If the only thing you did was download a 'HotFix" then I would suggest the easiest way out for you at his point would be a 'System Restore'. Put the registry back to a date prior to the 'hotfix'.
Best of luck,
