re: Stop Code 0x00000071 SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Tuesday, January 13, 2009 at 5:53 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Barbituate (1 messages posted) I ran across this after uninstalling a bunch of adware and other unnecessary components from a relative's laptop. It had XP SP2 running at the time. After reading various suggestions out there, I guessed I was a victim of corruption of one of the important Windows files. Since I'd planned on installing SP3 anyway, I downloaded the full version of the service pack (300+MB worth), booted into safe mode, and installed from there. After which the system booted up fine. So this is an option for anyone not already at the latest service pack. The SP will overwrite all of the Windows files with the new SP version, so you're killing two birds with one stone.
