the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)

Upon installing the latest version of unity I get the following error: “the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142)” for virtually every application installed on my computer. So far I have been unable to detect what the actual error does if anything.

however I did notice that when playing the game “Terminally Ill”: ludumdare.com/compo data is offline | Ludum Dare online, using the Unity Web Player, it does not perform as it should: [36230-terminally+i’ll+glitch.png|36230]

Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

If this is happening for virtually every program on your computer, your computer has issues, it’s not unity specifically.
