Unable to start applications from network "0xc0000006"

Question

I can't start applications from a network share or drive. An error Appears saying that the application was unable to start 0xc0000006. If I copy the .exe on my desktop it works fine. I tried to start Windows in safe mode and it works too.

My machine run on an HP laptop core i5 with Windows 7 SP1.

Any idea?

EDIT:

I found my problem: It's a bug that append sometimes with Kaspersky endpoint Security v.10. I just uninstall this version and install an older version (v.8). I hate Kaspersky... Hope it will help someone!

0xc0000006 is an NTSTATUS code. Specifically it is STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR.

It is not uncommon to see these errors when you attempt to run an executable from a network volume. For whatever reason, if there is any even intermittent problem accessing the network volume, then you may see this error. When a module is loaded, the code is not physically loaded until it is needed. A memory mapped file is created, and when a particular page is needed, it is brought into physical memory on demand. If your network fails to meet this demand, your application stops with STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR.

The common ways to deal with this include:

1. Getting a more robust connection to your network volumes.
2. Copying the executable file to a local drive and running it from there.
3. Adding the IMAGE_FILE_NET_RUN_FROM_SWAP flag to your PE file options.
