"SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" error

Hi, I use windows xp in my laptop... I can't recover my pc from the recovery partition and nor do the system restore it shows

"SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" ERROR.  What should I DO?

If you mean that you get a STOP error message that says something like:

SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

STOP: 0X0000006F (0XC0000034, 00000000, 00000000 00000000)

It isn't RAM, has nothing to do with chkdsk.

There is no Manager start Windows, no tools, no option under XP Memory Diagnostics...

So far, these sound like the Support Engineer suggestions guess just bad.

Should actually see and learn to fix various SESSION messages.

The usual culprit is an anti-virus software - perhaps Avast!, AVG or Avira, which has
files deleted or quarantined needed XP such as file manager Session of Windows:

c:\windows\system32\smss.exe

You may be able to start safe mode, someone told and replace the file missing from there.

I guess that the file might have been really infected and quarantined, but that has never been my experience.

What antivirus software do you use and do you have it used before this incident?

If the files have been quarantined or deleted, you can simply replace them with copies that are already on your HARD drive, but to do this, you must start your system in the Windows XP Recovery Console.

Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a
CD bootable XP Recovery Console.

This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If
you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

There are at least four possibilities (that I know of) for these missing files that give rise to the
Session3 or SESSION5 message type:

Windows\System32\smss.exe<-------- most="" likely,="" so="" replace="" this="" one="">
Windows\System32\ntdll.dll
Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe
Windows\System32\drivers\ftdisk.sys
Windows\System32\winlogon.exe

After starting in the XP Recovery Console, you should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  If you are not in the C:\WINDOWS folder, you have another problem you fix first.

When copying the files, you can replace the existing files with copies, in order to answer in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing files.  If the copy is successful, you should see a message that the file has been copied successfully.

In the Console of recovery at the C:\WINDOWS prompt, enter the following commands:

CD system32
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\smss.exe copy
Answer in the affirmative to all messages "Are you sure" If 1 file (s) copied
output (your system will restart)

Depending on your system configuration, you may need to copy the files somewhere else, so if they are not in the folder dllcache for any reason, enter the commands like this:

CD system32
c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\smss.exe copy
output (your system will restart)

  • BOSD session3_initialization_failed

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with a pc from a client.

    If I try to start the windows installed, restart the computer on the windows loading.

    If I use the last good configuration it gives this error:

    Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

    Stop: 0x000000d1 (0 x 00000005, 0 00005000, 0xf77be8b7, 0x00000001)

    ATAPI.sys - address f77be8b7 base at f77bc000, datestamp 3b7d83e5

    If I try the SafeMode error is: 0x0000007F (0x0000000F, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

    so I decided to reinstall windows, that usaly solves most of the problems.

    When I try to install, loading the cd it gives me the error:

    SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

    STOP: 0X0000006F (0XC000012F, 0X00000000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000);

    I replaced it with a stick of ram diferent and a new hard drive and a cd of diferent windows, and the problem persists.

    the motherboard is a with a celeron asrock p4v88 of intel, with a strip of 1 gb ddr400.

    I don't really know what to do. This is a pc that works only with a PCI for cctv, there is not a computer or play station.

    Thank you.

    Since you are not able to do a clean install, you know that the problem is hardware. And since you replaced the hard drive and RAM, the motherboard or the processor is what remains. If the computer is old, it is not cost-effective to replace the motherboard. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

    Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

    First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

    Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

    Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • An error in this Applescript that I can't understand

    Hi, I searched some forums and found this script below which I modified. It works great except for a single statement:

    runScript If = 1 then number error -128 I want the script to do is, when a USB drive is mounted and is in the ignoredVolumes as "USB Untitled" I want the script to stop. What I can't understand is, runScript is set to 1, "Untitled USB" Monte, runScript is not changed, why don't the script stops with an error "user cancelled"? On the other hand, if a key USB Monte is not in the ignoredVolumes, runScript is set to 2 and copy the file I want it. What hurts? It's probably something that will be very obvious when I see the answer.

    Thanks for any help with this problem,

    The way in which your external block If is currently based, the script can't do anything when this book is in the ignoredVolumes, it can not yet test the runScript value. Try something like this:

    If the present book is in the ignoredVolumes then

    game runScript to 1

    on the other

    if (the present book as text is not '. ') DS_Store') then

    if there are alias (POSIX (' / Volumes / "& the present book) as text file ) then game runScript to 2

    end if

    end if


    Of course, you need to remove a "end if' the end of the script.

  • Display Rotation error

    Hello

    I had a problem with the rotation of the screen under macOS Sierra function. As the screen rotates, there is an error that pop up and later that I'm unable to get into system-> Display Preferences. It is for me a "mistake preferably: County not load display preferences" message and I was unable to rotate the screen back. I started from the system in safe mode and temporarily solved the problem. But if I want to rotate the screen again, it pops up the same error again. I was using the rotation function pretty well in OS X El Capitan. But since I updated to macOS Sierra, I had this problem.

    I wanted to know if there is a lasting solution to this problem.

    I'm using macOS Sierra on MacBook (13-inch, early 2015) Air with processor 1.6 Ghz Intel Core i5 and 8 GB memory DDR3 at 1600 MHz with 128 GB of storage.

    Hello PavanGJ,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I see that since upgrading to Mac OS Sierra problems of screen rotation. The preferences window does not. I know how it is important for your Mac to work reliably. I'll be more than happy to help.

    Great job to test mode without failure. In Safe Mode disables most of the third-party services, it could be a compatibility problem with an application that you have. Check out this article:

    OS X El Capitan: If you have problems with startup items

    You can not hold account that the title suggests it's to El Capitan. It applies to macOS Sierra as well.

    You can also test the issue in a new user account.
