Hi,

I am getting this error
"The application failed to initalize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the appliaction."
I think it's something to do with my directx but I am probably wrong. I have tried reinstalling DX but that didn't seem to help. I am getting this error from a number of games that required DX but the ones that don't seem to run ok. I would be grateful for any Fixes or scan or anything you can recommend to help me to resolve this problem.

Included DXdiag as a start.

Couple of things to note from the DXdiag report are that you do not have Vista Sp2 installed, you should install this and all other important updates asap as you are missing many security updates and hotfixes and one of them may resolve this.
Your video cards drivers are not WHQL certified by Microsoft, have you checked the Device Manager for any yellow ! or red Xs against the video card?
See if DriverMax recommends a driver update for your card but only after installing Sp2 and all other updates http://www.innovativ....com/drivermax/

WHQL certified driver available @ http://downloads.gur...nload-2871.html
For a clean driver install, download and save the new drivers to your desktop, uninstall the present drivers, reboot the system, check that the previous drivers have been completely removed then install the new drivers.

I thought the Auto Updater should have done that for me, obviously I was wrong. :/
Updating to SP2 will run Drivermax and post results.

Ok we will look out for an update
The updates may do it but if not at least you have a link to the correct drivers.

Update:

SP2 would not install :/ (Unknown error occured)
All Drivers up to date
All Updates(except SP2) up to date.

I think it might be a registry error and I am hopeless at anything to do with regedits.
Any ideas?

Do you have a Vista installation disk?
