Turbo Tax 2021 yields the following error when attempting to open: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application. Help?

i did a virus search. did a malware search (quarantined two files). disabled startup items, restarted. did a clean boot. uninstalled and then reinstalled the program.

All of that, and the error message persists. I'm at the end of my guesswork. Any other guesses? Thanks in advance.

Hi LindseyLO,

Replying from a different account because I cannot find that password - sorry.

Anyway - I tried all that, and then some, and it still yields that error. Could it be anything else?

Thanks!
