The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000033). Click on OK to terminate the application. And then, when i clicked on OK, nothing happened. Windows doesn't load anything anymore. So, there is no taskbar, no desktop icons, nothing. I basicly cannot use my computer. The only thing that works is Ctrl+Alt+Del combination keys, which let me shut down the computer again. Can anyone help me with this? i would really appreciate for your help.. i really need help with my computer, because i can’t really use it right

It never happened on the old hard drive but it happens all the time on the new hard drive with most applications, usually when i exit out of them but sometimes the programs cause very high cpu usage, dont know why though, its supposed to be a clone copy so nothing is different other than the size of my new hdd which is 250GB, the old one was 100GB. The clone copy was done with Acronis Disk Imager. Just wondering what could have caused these errors to begin appearing in the first place? Very strange, i'll try your fix anyway but i'd be a little worried about disabling DEP altogether! Hi,
