re: SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Win XP Saturday, November 27, 2004 at 8:04 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ernie (1 messages posted) I had the same problem. I had to fdisk the logical and primary partitions and reformat the hard drive. I switched hard drives and memory one by one seeing what was the culprit. I also took out everything except the hard drive, memory, mouse, keyboard and video card.Then I found out that there was a problem with the CD ROM and I got past the SESSION3_INITIALIZATION error.
