i've been suffering for 8 months because of this error right now.
here's the error.
when i want to open my modem app.exe (the trigger to get my modem functioning, a message appeared and said :
APP.EXE - APPLICATION ERROR
(X)(a quite big X symbol here) THE APPLICATION FAILED TO INITIALIZE PROPERLY (0xc0000034). CLICK ON OK TO TERMINATE THE APPLICATION.

that's it, can't open my modem for 8 months because of this.
but, i borrowed my friend's modem(different type) and it CAN be opened from my laptop!
and when i lent my modem to my friend, it worked!
i tried system recovery, i don't have any backups for system recovery, @@
the problem all started when i downloaded KASPERSKY AntiVirus(not sure if it's an antivirus or something else but definitely kaspersky), scanned my computer, and voila, the problem came up.

could you please help me?
a help would be very, very, very, appreciated.
