Fix for Google Chrome Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)
Google chrome is supposed to be stable, but recently, many user have started to report the error – The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). And another such error - The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022), has also been reported that won’t let you work on chrome with ease.
Earlier it was considered as an error due to semantic products, but this is not the case. After doing a little research on it, i have found a possible solution that worked for me.
Following simple steps, you can easily get rid of the problem. Here are they-
- If google chrome is running on your system, close it.
- Find the shortcut to Chrome, Right click and add a simple command at the end of target option- “--no-sandbox ” or ” --no-process-plugins ” [Do not forget double dash -- before the switch.]
- Click ok! And you will not receive the error anymore.
- In google chrome, Sandbox security mode prevents the malware from getting installed on to the system. “ –no-sandbox ” will instruct the Chrome not to use Sandbox Security.
- Chrome plugins are run in as separate processes by default, so as to avoid browser crashes whenever a plugin crashes. “ –in-process-plugins ” will instruct Chrome not to run the plugins in separate process and instead the plugins will be run inside the browser process.

Only the –no-sandbox option worked for me, but then i get a message that I am using an unsupported option. This is in Win 7×64
I have tried it on win 7×64 as well. Worked perfectly for me. Make sure you paste exact text(double hyphen ( – ) in the beginning : –no-sandbox
This one is enough to remove the error.
Worked great thanks!
Welcome mike! Glad that you like it
fantastic sahil it worked thanx, cheers
Good to know that Dev. Thanks for the comment!
I do it but it dont show –no-sandbox or no-process-plugins!
What can i do for this problem?
Use only one command. I'll recommend you to use –no-sandbox
Make sure you paste exact text, double hyphen ( – ) in the beginning : –no-sandbox
Hope that helps!
Thanks! Now it works!
Welcome! Happy browsing
It didn't work for me… I pasted everything like you told there.
Its working for everyone zackarias. Try only –no-sandbox
Make sure you paste exact text, double hyphen ( – ) in the beginning : –no-sandbox
Hope that helps!
it refuses to let me post it at the end saying it isn't a valid path name. I'm posting at the end just as you said, but to no avail. What am i doing wrong?
Gewormy, make sure you type similar to whatevr is done above. Like “path” –no-sandbox
Read rest of the comments, you might get some help.
i still can't seem to work it :S ahwell its my fault and i am very limited in my knowledge of computers and programming. Thanks anyway
You don't need to do any sort of programming here
Copy the path from properties and paste here. Ill return you the exact path after changes, just replace it, and u'r done! Bt, make sure u copy the exact path.
“C:Documents and SettingsJacob RudmanLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe”
this is the bit u mean rite? lol
yeah lol..here's what you shud use:
“C:Documents and SettingsJacob RudmanLocal SettingsApplication DataGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe” –no-sandbox
Hope that helps!
Thanks for trying to help. Any way, my problems begun with Chrome in my Laptop signaling that the “–no-sandbox” option “I was trying to use” was an unusual and dangerous one! I did not touch that link before! so I supposed it was a virus (I have NAV corporative, updated!!). Then, I deleted the option, and Chrome did not work any more. So, I reinstalled: didn´t work. Uninstalled and reinstalled fresh: didn´t work. Installed next beta: didn´t work!! So, I am done with Chrome, at least in My Laptop (Desktop/Vista, Chrome is running fine…), waiting for a fix for Google for XP. Regards, Luis G. Uribe C.
This is only a temporary fix and may leave you open to some security issues, for a permanent fix, using Windows, simply locate MSVBVM60.DLL, right click and go to properties, add the group everyone and assign full control…this should take care of the issue…
All the best
Look at my post above…however for Windows XP you may need to stop simple file sharing:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Go to Tools > Folder Options
3. On the View tab, make sure that right at the bottom “use simple file sharing” is unchecked
All the best
Funny, I don’t have a “use simple file sharing” option to be checked or unchecked under Windows Explorer/tools/folder options/ view (xp sp3)
I also don’t have a security tab under properties of the .DLL.
I/ve seen several other mentions that using the no sandbox option opens up security problems, also several statements that the cause is a virus, and one or two suggestions that a registry cleaner be used. I use NOD32, which shows no unfixed problems, and have not tried a registry cleaner. Any comment? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for answering! I will change the DLL as indicated. Worm regards, GUribe
No worries I meant to say that it is properties > Security tab > add everyone etc etc
All the best

Nice solution, but I won't advice you to play with the DLL files, unless you are good at it, or good at risking your os. Thanks Damion for supporting n helping people!

Yes I know you shouldn't play with the DLL files but it works and there does not seem to be a problem on anyone's computer I have recommended it to…but I agree only touch DLL files with caution
I have tried all of the above fixes and still no luck in fixing this error. Chrome has worked flawlessly on my system for over a year, and suddenly this error. My system is virus and spyware-free. Any other ideas as to what could be the cause and repair for this issue?
Sorry to hear that Tandrus, but it’s still working for me. Try sandbox fix only.
Same for me. I have tried all these solutions, and nothing works. Very frustrating. If anyone has other suggestions, please post. Thanks.
