the application is unable to start correctly 0xc0000005 after windows update

Hi,

I have the exact same thing as TheGirlNextDoor.

also hid the KB2859537 update and now after updates on 12/09 it gives the same error

I Checked the BCD and tried following the steps but i can't do these steps:

Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

it says the system cannot find the path specified.

and what is the attrib and ren things? you also put these in the cmd? sorry i am not an expert ...

Thanks in advance!

When you checked your BCD was Windows Boot Loader Path xOsload.exe?   If it is then do the following.

1. Print these instructions
2. restart your computer and keep tapping F8 until you get the boot options on the screen, choose "repair your computer", select your country and an admin account.
3. Go to "Command Prompt"

4.  Check which drive your Windows is installed on, if you have 2 hard-drives then your Windows drive might be E:

type:

D:

dir

You should see a Windows directory, if you don't then try C: or E:

5.  Type each of these lines, making sure you use the correct letter for your Windows drive:

Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

6. restart your computer

7. re-activate your Windows

The above was only a temporary fix.

Check your BCD and do the below fix if necessary (at your own risk) 

In Windows open CMD as Administrator and type BCDEdit and enter,  if your Windows Boot Loader Path is xOsload.exe then you need to remove some files and repair your BCD.

NOTE:  you will need to re-activate Windows afterwards, so make sure you have your Windows 7 key handy.

Boot to Windows Repair - Command

Del D:\Windows\System32\xOsload.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\xNtKrnl.exe

Del D:\Windows\System32\Drivers\oem-drv64.sys

attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s

ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old

bootrec /rebuildbcd

OK, I think this will fix it.

First of all, if your System Restore is working then just use that to go back to before the recent updates, if it's not working then try this.

 

1. Disconnect from the internet  
2. Open Control Panel
3. Open Program & Features
4. Click "View installed updates" on the left-hand side
5. Find "Security update for Microsoft Windows (KB2859537)" under the Microsoft Windows section
6. Uninstall that update and restart you PC (may take a very-VERY long time to configure)
7. Go to Windows Updates and hide  (KB2859537)
8. Reconnect to the internet
9. Fix your System Restore feature; You might have to remove a fake C: drive and enable System Restore on the correct Windows drive.

I had this exact problem when I came back from holiday at the end of August and my brother fixed it the way you had described.

Now my computer installed updates (12/09/13) and my computer's giving this annoying error again and I can't open anything but IE!!

My computer didn't reinstall KB2859537 because I searched for it and the only place I found it was in my update history when it was installed on 16/08/13 - but of course we had uninstalled it after that date.

What is it this time and how do we stop it from happening in the future?
