EXE Application Error

When you are looking for an *.exe application error fix, first you have to pinpoint the problem. What kind of error message are you getting? What software did you install right before you started getting the error, or what kind of changes did you make to the system settings?

• process lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code - 1073740972
  (Note: the process name and the status code might differ).
  
  This error could indicate a software conflict or (more rarely) a virus infection. Your best bet would be installing all needed Windows updates. If the application that crashes is not a system process, that program itself might be faulty, corrupted (such as a pirated or cracked copy) or might need updating to solve the stability issue.


• A critical system process, C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000354
  (Note: the process name and the status code might differ).
  
  Much like the previous exe application error, it is usually solved by updating your Windows OS or uninstalling conflicting software (such as a firewall you installed recently). Also run an antivirus scan and an error fixer. Boot your system from a Windows CD and use Windows Repair if everything else fails.


• Application error: The instruction at "0x0c175969" referenced memory at "0x0c405800", the memory could not be read / written
  (Note: the application name and the memory location might differ).
  
  Like the message indicates, your PC tried to read or write a certain memory address and failed. It usually means a faulty or unstable (due to overclock) RAM or bad sectors in your HDD. It is advised to use Windows CheckDisk (Start > Run > chkdsk), do an error scan and check for viruses.


• the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application
  (Note: the application name and the status code might differ).
  
  If the program used to run fine before, it could indicate corrupted data or malware infection. Check your computer for viruses and spyware, and do an error scan. If the program never started properly in the first place, you might need to use Windows Compatability Mode or re-download the corrupted files.


• msiexec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience
  (Note: the application name might differ).
  
  This *.exe application error message isn't particularly informative and only tells us that a certain program has generated an error and was closed by the OS. As usual a full error scan and antivirus scan is advised, as well as looking into updating the affected program to the newest version to solve the stability issue. If the software is a video game, getting the latest drivers is a must.

As explained, the *.exe application error messages above are just examples. They can include all kinds of error codes and be generated by any software such as processes named crw32, hkcmd, wmrundll, wscntfy, csrss, jusched (Java updater), taskmgr (System Task Manager), v2isr, indesign (Adobe In Design), sdtrayapp, amvo and so on - the ones listed here being some of the more notable culprits.

• Use a firewall, an antivirus and a spyware remover - the "golden trio" in protecting your PC. There's a lot of great security software; I have listed my personal favorites on this page above, but feel free to choose whatever suits you. if you keep the firewall and the antivirus monitor running, your PC will be well protected from malware and hackers.


• Update frequently: not only Windows updates, but other software updates (browser, flash player and such) often contain important security fixes and patches. Having a vulnerable older version might just be the thing that gets your PC infected with a virus or a keylogger.


• Always backup important data: keep copies of important files on a safe location such as a DVD or a USB flash drive. You can also use an automatic online backup provider such as Mozy - they offer 2 GB of secure online storage for free.
