Fix for (0xc0000142) error, for me at least.
Purchased The Witcher 2 on Amazon earlier today after waiting indefinitely for my wife to allow me to play her launch day copy. Lo and behold, I was greeted with the (0xc0000142) error after patching all the way to 2.1. After careful diagnosis I determined that an old installation of LucidLogix software was the culprit. I had at one time experimented with the Lucid software (Z68 motherboard) but had since disabled it and thought Id uninstalled it. I believe their uninstaller may have failed at some point.
Anyway, this is what you do - I hope this exists for you too:
Go to c:\Program Files\LucidLogix Technologies and run the uninstaller. Reboot and enjoy this fine game!
Thanks for one of the finest games ever (IMO), CDPROKECT!
