After you install a Windows 2000 service pack, you may receive the following error message when you reboot the computer:
0x0000006b 0xc0000022, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
Process1_Initialization_Failed
Code 0xC0000022 indicates "access denied."
NOTE: Other symptoms may occur after you install a Windows 2000 hotfix, depending on which system files the hotfix contains.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if the %Systemdrive%\Temp folder or the Temp folder on the drive with the most free space was encrypted before you installed the service pack or hotfix. The installer creates a subfolder (named Ext####) in the Temp folder to expand its files. This subfolder inherits the encrypted attribute from the parent Temp folder when it is created. This causes the service pack or hotfix files to be copied to the %SystemRoot% folder as encrypted files. Because the operating system itself does not have the proper credentials for decrypting these files, it cannot continue with the boot process.
To confirm that this is the cause, you can restart the computer to the Recovery Console, and use the DIR command to list the contents of the %SystemRoot%\Sytem32 folder. Any files with an "e" attribute are encrypted. For example, you might see the following file listed when you use the DIR command:
02/06/01 04:40a -a----e- 559888 autochk.exe (note the "e" attribute)
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must place unencrypted files on the computer. To do so:
- Boot the computer from the Windows 2000 installation CD-ROM.
- When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to repair the installation.
- On the Repair Options screen, press R to run the emergency repair process.
- Press M for a manual repair process.
- Select only the Verify Windows 2000 system files option.
- When you are prompted for an emergency repair disk (ERD), press ENTER if you have an ERD. If you do not have an ERD, press L to let Setup search your hard disk. When Setup locates the Windows 2000 installation, press ENTER to repair it.
- A file system check is performed; this check may take a few minutes.
NOTE: If Setup forces a reboot immediately after the file system check, you must perform the repair process again before continuing with the next step. - When you are prompted to repair files, press A to repair all files.
- After the repair process is finished, Windows should boot normally but without any service pack files installed.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
