Error 0xc0000142: Internet Explorer failed to initialized correctly

Hi,
There are some instances in my computer under windows home edition that I cannot understand. Whenever I want to run my internet explorer it won't load. Error will pop up to the screen that says application failed,

Iexplore – Application error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000142). Click OK to
Terminate the application.
OK
I also experience same error, if I will open Mozilla Firefox, and the nice thing is I cannot also open task manager to check on why this happens. I tried to exit some running application, same thing happens. I finished scanning for viruses, but none was found. That is why I am now using my other laptop to post this question to this site, in hope somebody could share some ideas.
Thanks.
