From: RachelAdler on
On booting my computer this morning (yes, 10 hours ago) I began receiving
bcmwltry.exe errors that the application failed to initialize (0xc0000006)
etc. The option is to close the application by selecting yes. About 10
seconds later the error message would pop up again. My computer will not
finish booting up. The background is visible but I have no start menu or
bar, also nothing on my desktop.

I did a google search for this error and found some suggestions. All of
them said to run msconfig and uncheck bcmwltry from the menu. They also
advised to delete the bcmwltry.exe file in the WINDOWS/System 32 file.
Additionally they say that the process that is running will cause your
computer to boot slowly, so I've tried to be patient between fixes.

Since I have no start menu I hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE selected File, Run and
tried to run msconfig. It wouldn't run. I tried File, Run and then clicked
on browse to try the other half of the fix. I found bcmwltry.exe in
WINDOWS/System 32 and deleted it. This stopped the constant pop-up of the
error message concerning bcmwltry.exe but my computer still won't boot. It
is running extremely slowly. Now when I try to run msconfig I get a new
error message: msconfig.exe -application failed to initialize (0xc0000006).

HELP! I can't get my computer to boot, now I have no MSCONFIG. I don't
know what to do! Thanks!

From: db on
have you tried to boot into
safe mode?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried to boot in safe mode and got the
bsod. AH! This is the error:

STOP:c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image oleaut32.dll is possibly
corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

Any thoughts?

Rachel:
When posing problems along the kind you've run into it's always a good idea
to provide a bit of background info re the kind of system you're using; to
wit...
1. Is this a desktop or laptop computer?
2. Is it an OEM machine, e.g., a Dell, or Gateway, or Toshiba, or HP etc.,
etc.? If so, what's the make & model number of the machine?
3. Do you have an XP operating system (OS) installation CD that's either a
retail version or a non-branded OEM version? Or if it's an OEM machine, just
the recovery or restoration CD(s)?
4. Do you have any clue whatsoever what might have caused the problem you're
experiencing? Did it follow some significant change you made in some program
or perhaps a configuration change in your XP OS? Or, as it appears, the
problem developed "out-of-the-blue"?
5. I suppose it's safe to assume you do not have a comprehensive backup of
the affected system, right?

From: RachelAdler on
1. Laptop
2. Dell Latitude 610
3. I have a non-branded reinstallation cd but not a recovery or restore cd.
(I was thankfully stopped at the last minute from running a reinstall and
deleting everything).
4. No significant changes. I have retrived diagnostic errors having to do
with my harddrive. But I believe the two issues were initially unrelated?
5. I have a backup that is a month or so old. I really would like to do
some data recovery on this machine if possible before it gets deleted.

At this point I've resigned myself that it's time to upgrade. I'm just
hoping to get my computer to a point where I can retrieve "my documents" and
some other items with out having to pay someone to do it. Unless you think I
might be able to salvage?
