Windows Didn't Start Correctly - Could Not Complete Setup
Feb 5, 2013
When I turned on my laptop, I was prompted to start windows normally, so I did. Then, it came up with an error message that read: "windows didn't start correctly" so I pressed okay and it came up with the start windows normally again and now I get a message to restore my computer, so I did and now it gives a message that says: Windows could not complete setup what do I need to do to get it back up and working correctly?
I am trying to install my windows 7 and it wont complete the setup. After all the files load from my original disks, the computer restarts and starts the setup but its been a blank screen for over 2 hours now and still nothing. I can use the restore from an image file and it sets up in 30 minutes and works but i have no home group setup and cant read some external hard drives right so I wanted to try a clean install. The computer is a Gateway 64 bit.
Homebuilt PC, all appears fine but when trying to install/setup Windows XP Mode, the green progess bar gets approximately 98% complete then goes red and a message "Cannot Complete Setup Please Try Again" appears. I have tried four or five times now and same thing every time.
My system: OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit CPU Intel Q9550 Motherboard Nforce 750i SLI Memory 6 GB RAM Graphics Card Nvidia 9500GT Sound Card Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Screen Resolution 1920 X 1080
i know theres another thread but instead of Hijacking his (i hate getting hijacked..) i'll start a new one,no wi tried the solution si've seen, chang emy username in Windows 7, defrag hard drive, download w/ IE, Firefox, Chrome, try another PC.. nada.its annoying because want to use it for Rosetta Stone: Japanese. and only issue running it in Windows 7 as is? as is it Will Not Find language CDs yet it will in XP.
- build a system with 1 WD1101FALS HDD and installed Windows 7 64 bit no problem. All was good for few days until I got a bug to set up a RAID 10.
- Went out bought 3 more of the same drives. All 4 drives are WD1101FALS 1TB.
- Set up the RAID 10 array on the ASUS motherboard, got the RAID drives for Win7 64bit on a USB key.
- Start install, no problem. Win7 asks for drivers, I click browse and select the drives from USB for the RAID. Install continues, files are copied, thing are flying, it's fast.
- Then 1st re-start
- Windows continues to install (finalizing things, registry update, etc).
- I get to 4 check marks on the Windows Install screen and then it goes into the last step "Completing Installation". The progress bar goes to about 80% complete and then
BLACK SCREEN, computer re-starts. Windows comes up with a message "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation can not proceed. etc.." It assks to press OK and and PC re-starts and the installation re-starts from scratch. I tried about 15 times, with different RAID drives, from XP to Vista, to Win7.
I have no clue what else I can try. Usually people have problem with the RAID drives but I have no problem with that step. The drivers are selected and seem to be working fine. The install almost completes.
Here are the images on how far along the install goes. The progress bar actually goes more than that, I just took a picture before the black screen.
I recently set up a new computer, and managed to get a copy of Win 7 Ultimate. However, I get an ambiguous error when I attempt to set up the Windows XP Mode. I'm able to boot a virtual machine, and my CPU's VM options are turned on.
I'm looking to reinstall Windows 7 64 on my Gateway computer. I go into the advanced recovery options and tell it to reinstall to original factory. Everything is going well and the computer restarts to begin the process ... I choose my keyboard type at the prompt ... but then, I get this message in a dialogue box:
"Please complete operating system setup process before doing system recovery".
I have no idea what that means or what it is asking me to do. I've googled everywhere and can't find any info on it.
Setup is starting services.Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation.About one month ago I decided I wanted to have a clean install of windows 7 on my acer machine. I did this by using an acer made pre-installed program. It claims to be very straightforward, all you have to do is click a button and they will reinstall windows 7 for you and even back up all your data ,so that after the clean install you don't lose a thing. Sounded great but in reality it has stopped my notebook from working.I am now in a circle-jerk of the error message I stated in the beginning of this topic. Once my computer restarts it just gets me the same error message again. I tried booting from a bootable USB-key with the windows 7 iso downloaded from official sources. But this did not do anything from me. I also went to acer support in my city. They offered me to fix it. All they had to do is copy all the info of my hard drive I wanted to keep and do a fresh install of windows 7. Would take them 3 hours. This is the easyiests option for me. But problem is I live in China and I don't trust those tech support guys for good reasons. I went there with my laptop, the tech-support guy put in a usb-key and started up my computer. It started some kind of diagnostics. After 20 minutes of this he stopped the diagnostics and started running some chinese software on my computer. Presumably booting from the USB-key. After a couple of clicks he was browsing around on my hard-drive. I was right behind him and could see him every move. He was snooping around my folders looking for all sorts of personal stuff. He was going to folders he had no business going to. I think he thought I had no idea what he was doing or would not recognize he was snooping around on my computer. At one point he went into a folder and told him not to go there in chinese. He quickly exited, but then couple of seconds later went back to that same folder to do some looking around. Presumably cause he thought I would not notice. So I do not trust these people one bit. And would not want him to copy all the info of my hard drive to then re-install windows7.
i recently installed windows 7.. when i installed VIA drivers for graphics it didn't get installed properly... i had the message "setup was unable to complete the installation (error code-6) ".. so i was asked to upgrade my BIOS... i downloaded it and installed it... when i ran the update, the system just hanged up and nothing happened for hours,..
so i had to restart the system and went to BIOS settings and clicked load optimized settings,,,.. from then onwards my OS is booting until the windows startup screen appears and just hangs..it's not booting to the users login... but it logs in at times... i dont have any restore points too..what to do?
Bought some pieces, assembled a new PC, installed Windows 7 Ultimate, then SP1, then several programs and everything seemed to be fine. But the next day, without changing anything, some programs won't start correctly, to be more precise: their processes seem to start (or at least they show up on Task Manager, but consuming only a few KB of ram and no CPU) but no program window appears whatsoever. Sometimes rebooting the PC will stop this from happening, but not always. Here I attach screenshots of CPU-Z and the customary files for debugging BSODs. Full system specs: [URL].
every few days my computer seems to stop letting programs open. If I try to open a program like Firefox, for example, the window just never shows upThen trying to open the Task Manager gives me an error saying, "This application was unable to start correctly. Click OK to close the application."I honestly can't think of what the problem could be. This is happening on a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit from about 3 weeks ago
. HP pavilon dv4- 1318TU having 4 gb ram and 320 hard disk, dore2 deo processer ... now im going to explian every thing... my pc hav windows vista inbuilt.... i upgraded... to Windows 7 ultimate.. manytimes.. and now this time 1 yr later... i installed Windows 7 home premium... 3 days b4.. and now too.... when ever i open any application .. this appears... THE APPLICATION WAS UNABLE TO START CORRECTLY (0X0000005).CLICK OK TO CLOSE THE APPLICATION ANTIVIRUS is not working too.. i did disck check no errors.
I could not find any solutions to this bug on the internet right now so I am coming here to see if anyone has a solution. This is the exact error that I am getting."The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Click OK to close the application"..This happens whenever I open a .exe or application type file. I cannot get into Command Prompt as it says it when I try to enter that also.I do not want to re-install Windows 7 on my computer because I have important stuff on my computer.
Every time I try to log in to my user, (which is administrator) I am met by a box containing the error in the title. I am able to use safe mode fine (which I'm using now) and have tried doing numerous scans and fixes such as SFC-Scannow, Norton Antivirus and System Restore but each one cannot find any threats. Close to the time this started happening, I turned off my laptop by the power switch instead of using the "Start" menu as it was taking ages to switch off.
The above error message comes up when i try to open anything, the computer is running extremely slowly.I am not very technical when it comes to computers.
Earlier today, my computer is not working properly since i started it up.An error would show everytime a programs try to start.It would show " The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000b5). " everytime i try to start google chrome. Other programs like games also creates error, some with different error codes like (0xc0000185).Steam has creates a different error which says " Steam.exe(main exception): Unable to load library SteamUI.dll, Win32 Error 121 "The semaphore timeout period has expired."However, some programs like internet explorer, photoshop and microsoft office would work, which i suspect is because they are 64bit softwares.
i couldn'nt open media players ms office -excel word and i couldn't run all my software in desk top i receive the messege "The Application wasnable to start correctly 0xc0000142
I don't what happened but all of a sudden a message box opens up on my windows 7 laptop and it says this " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application" . I clicked ok but the error message box keeps returning back. If i remember properly, this is happening when I tried installing some wallpaper.

I am getting a Login Error on a Laptop. This is the error "The Application was unable to start correctly error(0x000005) click ok to close the application".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled (admin) the latest driver several times. I dont have any USB 3 devices yet and have nothing plugged into a USB 3. I am starting to think my last option is to disable all USB 3 on my computer but when I get a USB 3 I will be screwed.
I have a problem that occurs only during shut down only. When I select Shut Down I soon get a pop up that says....the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142) Click OK to close the application. the label on the window is cmd.exe. Whether I click on the window or not, the shut down proceeds and eventually after say 30 seconds the alert disapears and the laptop shuts down. clicking on the alert simply brings up another alert. All this only occurs during shut down only. Also, I have no problem running cmd.exe during normal operation, or any other program run from the command window. I have read a number of posts but do not see anything exactly like this, that is happening during shut down.
Here is the TSG SysInfo

When I try to restart Win 7 (64bit) I get this error message from apache.exe or mysqladmin.exe like this "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000142"
