‘pv.exe application error’

Few days ago,i was working on PHP project. i had a deadline. i was to busy with project.suddenly my pc got crash !! i got worried!! why it happened? i tried to memorized everything. than i remember before PC crash, its showed a error message in a pop-up window. Error message was:

“pv.exe The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142) Click to Terminate the application”.

Yesterday at 3am i recovered my pc. i have to format my hard disk and re-install OS. it was running smoothly till 8pm….than again the same problem..same message occurred and my pc got hangup. it was happening for long time. but i just ignored. because, when i restart my pc, it work perfectly OK.

As u re-installed everything,than why this same ERROR..!! i got worried and confused!! it halt my all functionality.  i couldn’t open PC’s drive, also browser. it also block my ZONEALARM. i got scared!! may be its a virus or something like that !! i immediately shut down the pc. than try to figure out,whats the problem.

I searched on forums,and found something very interesting ! This error is not because of virus. but its a conflict between XAMPP’s APACHE SERVER and ZONALALARM.

i followed the forum’s solves:

• i scanned & fragmented hard drive.
• Stop ZoneAlarm.
• stop filezilla.

but,still i was in dark. because,without firewall i cant think of Internet. others way, i have to stop working with Apache!! what to do?! what to do…!! than i uninstall Xammp-1.5.5 from my pc. and install wamp5.

now its working perfectly without any trouble.
