0x0000005 (error): how to fix it?

Recently, many users of the Windows operating system have encountered a problem related to the failure of the software to open files of various extensions. The bottom line is that after rebooting or switching on any personal device under the guidance of a product from Microsoft, the system completely refuses to open files and at the same time displays a window with the code 0x0000005. The error states that the "axis" has fixed an invalid memory access. She can not take further action.

Error 0хс0000005 is not critical

Just want to note that the error code 0x0000005 is not critical and is not an excuse for reinstalling the software with all the ensuing consequences. The reasons for this kind of conflict can be several:

• Problems with the registry.
• Operating system damage by malicious programs (viruses).
• A failed or incompatible RAM card.
• Conflicts the printer driver, video card, or other peripheral device with the system.
• Using an older version of the Symantec anti-virus program.
• Updating the computer software.

It is the last item on the list that can give a lot of trouble, and it will be he who will be the lion's share of the entire article. But first, let's consider all the options in order.

Problems with the registry

The window with the "error when starting the application 0x0000005" message can talk about
The fact that the operating system registry has some damage that needs to be fixed. This operation can be carried out in two ways, such as:

• Manual cleaning and debugging of the registry. It consists in correcting all errors when starting, using or incorrectly deleting any kind of programs. This method is not recommended for inexperienced users, since it can lead to a complete crash of Windows.
• Automatic registry cleaning. It is carried out with the help of special software from third-party developers. Helps painlessly eliminate all the flaws in the system and optimize the OS. Some of the most common utilities of this class are Auslogics BoostSpeed or CCleaner.

The defeat of the operating system by viruses

This is another factor that can cause a "application error" message. 0x0000005 means that the system has blocked the execution of a particular command, during which an unusual access to memory is made for standard programs. This can only mean that a malicious code has entered the computer. The technique of "treating" this kind of "disease" of the system is quite simple. It is necessary to test all logical disks of a personal device, using the latest version of the antivirus. The most ideal option is scanning before the computer boots. It allows you to effectively combat malicious code.

By the way, using the antiquated version of the Symantec anti-virus program can also be the occurrence of the inscription "error 0x0000005". How to fix? Everything is simple and simple. If the file SAVRT.SYS is additionally specified in the window, in this case simply update the antivirus. And best of all, replace it with a more common and reliable system of protection.

A failed or incompatible RAM card

This is not a very common cause of code 0x0000005. An error can occur both with the installation of a new RAM module and with the operation of existing boards. In this case, it is recommended to perform diagnostics using the MemTest86 utility. In the event that the test results show the presence of errors in one of the modules, then it must be replaced. However, this does not mean that the RAM is completely out of order. Often, a conflict can arise due to exceeding the limit of the capabilities of the motherboard or incompatibility of the installed parts by the clock frequency of operation.

Conflict of the peripheral driver with the system

Often, an error when starting the application (0x0000005) also occurs when, after updating the operating system, the user tries to start working with those programs that use peripheral devices (printer, scanner). And even attempts to reinstall programs, device drivers or even the entire system as a whole will not give the proper result. The problem is that the default installation package contains the same user profile, which is problematic. The only correct solution is to create a new user profile and then use it.

If the startup error (0x0000005) occurred after the driver update of the video card or other built-in hardware, then in this case it is necessary to roll back to the old version and immediately report an error to the manufacturer of the product.

KB2859537 in the Windows Service Pack

Now we have come to the main reason of all troubles, which no one would have thought of. Imagine a situation where after turning on or restarting the computer, the message "0x0000005 error" occurs. Windows 7 has just been updated! At first glance, this simply can not be, but still the fact is fixed. This is the situation that overtakes the "lucky owners" of the 64-bit "seven".

The catch is that the MS13-063 bulletin for this version of the product contains the update KB2859537, designed to improve the performance and security of Microsoft Windows. And although the creators of the software unanimously declare that this miracle is not a trick to find and block "pirated" copies, but still ... On licensed versions of software, such problems are absent.

Let's start in order. To remove the problem directly in Windows, you need to do the following manipulations.

1. Go to the "Start" menu.
2. From there you need to go to the "Control Panel".
3. Then go to "Programs and components".
4. In the window that opens, you need to find the item "View installed updates".

Now it's up to the little thing. You need to find the latest security updates (KB2859537 or others, after which the problems started) and delete them. After all the above, restart the computer and, having passed the same path, make sure that all unnecessary updates are deleted.

Sometimes it turns out that it's easy to remove the above-mentioned update, and after the reboot, the code 0x0000005 still pops up. The error has not been fixed. Do not despair at once. There is another, more complex, but still effective method - removing the update using the command line. Here things are a little different.

1. Go to the "Start" menu.
2. Next, open all the programs.
3. In the opened menu we find the folder "Standard".
4. We activate the mouse "Run".

In the window that appears, type the following command: wusa.exe / uninstall / kb: 2859537. Pay special attention to writing this line. It should be exactly as indicated here, that is, with spaces before the "slash" sign. On the request for the correctness of the removal of the update, answer in the affirmative. After completing this procedure, restart the computer and check that the system is working.

Removing KB2859537 with the Installation Disc

As practice shows, this update is "harder", and it is not always so easy to get rid of it. Perhaps the most reliable way is to fix it with a distribution. To do this, you need to boot from the disk, open the command line and enter there DISM / Image: X: \ / Get-Packages, where X is the drive letter on which the system is installed.

Then completely copy the file name, which begins with Package_for_KB2859537.

Then type DISM / Image: D: \ / Remove-Package / PackageName:, and paste after the colon the name that you copied. Then reboot the system in the normal working order, go and check if the update has been removed.

Advice to developers

A situation may arise when, when testing a new program, the STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION 0xC0000005 exception appears. The error may be in the conflict of the application being developed with the data execution prevention service. In this case, it becomes necessary to run the application in the debugger and search for the code that causes the conflict.

And finally

To avoid this kind of trouble, you should stick to the
Some tips:

• Immediately after installing the operating system, disable automatic updating. Although this is not recommended, it is quite effective.
• If it was necessary to delete one or several programs, then this process must be carried out according to all the rules. Erased files from the computer manually do not mean a complete uninstallation of the application.
• Regularly test your "iron helper" for malicious software, run programs to clean and optimize the registry.

Implementation of these simple recommendations will help to avoid the occurrence of code 0x0000005. The error simply does not arise.
