The application failed to initialize properly. ????

[stumps]

I got the same error. I did the following steps exactly:

1. Uninstalled maps
2. installed Framework
3. restarted
4. installed maps

Results:
the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)

note: this seems to be affecting a few apps of mine, HP printing interface particularly.


I looked on Google and found this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...05e426641a19ed

So, I performed the following:

1. Uninstalled maps
2. Ran regedit (according to google post above)
3. Restarted
4. Reinstalled framework
5. Restarted
6. installed maps

Results: same error.

Not sure where to go from here...

Thanks in advance for any information on this
