Blue Screen 0x0000006B - PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

I tried deleting the file, and rebooting. Did not work. I then copied the entire folder from one computer to the bad one. Windows works. - Windows 7 Pro in a networking environment

How could it be a hardware issue if the other two partitions on the disk boot perfectly fine and can access the Windows partition with full read/write support?  (I keep it set to read-only for normal use, however)

Check these :

"STOP: 0x0000006B" Stop error message during startup on a computer that is running Windows 7

or Windows Server 2008 R2

The proposed solutions did not work.  Any other suggestions?  And please be aware: since Windows will not boot, I am unable to install any "hotfixes", check any settings, or even look at the driver information.

(And btw, an attentive reading of my original post (or even the title) would inform you that the solution in your prized article did nothing to solve my problem.  That's why I'm posting in these forums.  I'm more of a power-user than most, so I only post when I absolutely have to.)

Hi,

Just because the other OS runs does not mean its Windows as it can also be a driver or program

that is loaded. Added that Windows might be addressing hardware resources that the other OS

does not (the odds are it does).

Check this KB article :

If no help above :

Has there been any hardware changes lately, especially any internal additions or removals? If a PC

be sure to remove ALL power and reseat all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible)

actually remove and replace - do not just snug (can't do those on a laptop though).
