Hi,

I'm getting the error message while running the World Community Grid program only on the Help Conquer Cancer work units:

- exit code -1073741515 (0xc0000135)

I'm running version 7.0.28 (x64). Does anyone know what this error message means?

Hi,

I'm getting the error message while running the World Community Grid program only on the Help Conquer Cancer work units:

I'm running version 7.0.28 (x64). Does anyone know what this error message means?

The generic description is "The application failed to initialize properly".

That most commonly means that one of the application's components or support files - typically a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) - is missing. If you're experienced in peering under the hood in Windows, Dependency Walker can help you identify what's missing.

Another possible cause of the 0xc0000135 error is file system security settings not allowing the application to run, but in my experience that's less likely.

I saw the same thing recently, and it was solved in my case by reinstalling the AMD APP SDK. The work units for Help Conquer Cancer use the GPU, and I had somehow broken the App SDK installation during an OS upgrade. If you have a Nvidia card instead of ATI, perhaps there is some similar CUDA kit you could try to reinstall.
