    The application failed to initialize properly (0x0000142). Click on OK to terminate the application.

    I get the same message. What I do is control , press ctrl+R in the run open box type: c:/windows/explorer.exe. This will load your desk top and tool bar. I don't know any fix for this issue. I also want to know the permanent solution for this.

    This is due to the new advanced program control feature. If a program tries to use CreateProcess and ZoneAlarm stops it, you get this error. Go to the program control tab, click the programs tab, right click explorer, select options and check "Allow application integration".
