I recently installed Lubuntu on my Dell 9400 laptop running Windows XP (32-bit), and managed to remove a partition needed to boot into Windows.  T make a LONG story short, I had to repartition the entire hard drive, and reinstall Windows XP, then install the Linus OS. I'm pretty much back up and running in both OSs, but when I boot into Windows I get a popup cli.exe-application error: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc 0000135)".  The computer seems to run OK when I click to terminate the application.  I tried uninstalling the ATI programs, but I believe it's associated with my video driver (ATI Mobility Radeon X1400), and it was a complete disaster!  I had to reinstall the video driver, but now it's back to the same.  I never had this pop up prior to the XP reinstall; any IDEAS?If this error is showing up at boot TIME then it's related to something in your startup group...
Have a look in there and see.
Also did you remember to DLoad and install the Service packs ? ?
If the install CD had SP 1 included you can skip SP 2 and just install SP3. Quote from: waltzcar on April 07, 2013, 09:25:30 PM

I have run the updates; I suspected the .NET framework, too.  I tried installing .NET framework 4 (seems to be the latest version), but still got the message, so I uninstalled it.
