If you faced “The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0000005).Click on OK to terminate the application.” error with
google chrome and you are using symantec, then you could try the
following steps:
* Back up the registry on an affected system
* Open the registry on the Agent system by entering regedit from a
run prompt
* Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\SysPlant
* Open the Start DWORD
* Change the value to 4 to disable the drivers
* Reboot the system to commit the changes

The other easier solution is to run Google Chrome with “–no-
sandbox” (without the double quotes). To run it with the above option,
edit the property of the shortcut you use to launch Google chrome and
add the above option after the exe.Make sure that there is a space
inbetween the exe and the “–no-sandbox” option that you add.You could
find a shortcut to google chrome on your desktop, to add the “–no-
sandbox” option (without the double quotes).
You are in effect loosing the sandbox effect of Google Chrome.

Thank you for the registry instructions. That does work!
Can you provide information on what this registry key is, and what all
it does?
It might make folks more comfortable with making this change.
