At every shutdown only, I get the following error message:
the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Click OK to close the application.
My computer:
Laptop HP 620
Celeron(R) Dual-Core CPU T 3000 @ 1,80 GHz 1,79 GHz
Ram 2,00 Gt
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Service Pack 1
I did a large search in the internet to find a solution for this issue but did not find much help. How do I find out which programs need and launch the cmd.exe at startup? I wonder if the cmd.exe should be started at all when booting.
I'm not very familiar with the registry editing, but a short glance at it gives following information on cmd.exe. The native language of my computer is Finnish, so I've translated the terms for easier understanding.
