It keeps taking me back to the blue screen... STOP: C000021a {Fatal System Error} The Session Manager Initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000026c (0x00000000 0x00000000). The system has been shut down. I have a Dell Dimensions 2400. I have removed one of the two Rams to see if that was the problem, and unpluged the speakers and removed the dsl cord. I did an update as well and then this happened. Do you have a solution other than buying another hard drive, which I checked and the test all passed. I have a new Windows 7 but wanted to fix this one for some children I know that will never have a computer. Hope someone can help!!!

It did indeed work for me as well. I couldn't narrow down which update caused my problem but i had the error ending in 26. I followed the above instructions but half the files were missing or never existed. A simpler way to perform this fix: Find access to a working pc with the same os. Copy the files listed above from the system32 folder. Boot to recovery console from a disc Copy these files directly from the cd drive to system32 reboot. Works like a charm! Thanks!

I can confirm that it was caused by one of the updates in Microsoft's April batch with KB2506223 as the most likely candidate. As I have installed this update on three other PCs without any problem it suggests that there is also something on the PC that contributes. The PC with the error was running XP Home SP3 with the others either XP Home or Professional both at SP3. I had the same problem.

One of these was http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS11-034.mspx kb2506223. When I did a recovery on files it happend that win32k.sys file was in restore options. I fastly renamed and put back the deleted version and volia. Next time I had a successful start. I am not sure if this kb is the problem, but I saw in logs that it had succ. install and now the system offers me the same update. So this is my conclusion. PEACE Well I have just recovered from BSOD with 0xc000021a status 0xc000026c

I got the same error on xp sp3 but i could not find this update in list of hotfixes. I start ERD commander and scan for corrupted system files, it found 3 files corrupted there was win32k.sys listed also. ERD repaired it and it booted fine. Just wanted to give mine contribution to the same problem. Hey thanks for advice.

I used MSDART to uninstall the last updates and the machine then booted correctly. However, After reinstalling the updates from windowsupdate the error was back. All updtaes installed correctly on the recovery image. My question is are you guys able to install the updates without fault after removing them ? because this was not the case for me. I have to return the customers machine in a condition where all windows updates are successfull. Thanks I just used a recovery image to repair a customers machine.
