lord_mur2002 Windows XP SP3 on atom 1.6 n260 with 1gb ram and a 16gb SSD.Reply
I am getting this error even after a fresh restart.
"The application has failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)."
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I really need this app because the sandisk 16gb ssd in this machine is the slowest HD I have ever seen.
I opened the netbook and got under the keyboard to the drive and it is just a small pcb with ram on it. I can not even put a normal HD because there is no room and the connector is not standard.
