Hi - hope someone cleverer than me can help with this problem....
First off - If I try to get on the internet from the desktop I get this...
"IEXPLORE.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)
Click OK to terminate the application."
I've seen that quite a few others have had the same problem and their problems have been solved by a registry fix using...
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEMCurrentControlSet\Services\RPCDKM"
I've tried using the same fix without any luck...
My HijackThis log is as follows...

I've also scanned the registry - with the following results....
4 instances of "RPCDKM" found.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\RPCKDM]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\RPCKDM]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RPCKDM]

"LastKey"="My Computer\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\RPCKDM"
I've scanned the computer for viruses - and found none.
I've checked the computer for spyware with Ad-Aware - that too says I'm clean.
However, I CAN get on the internet by either of the following methods...
1) Reboot in safe mode with network access and use the normal desktop route.
or
2) Select "My Computer" from the desktop, the access "favourites" from the toolbar and go from there.
I'd be grateful for any advice or help offered.
Thanks
