Cannot launch QuarkXpress 10 error 0xc0000142 in windows 7

Quark has a free document converter on their Web site which will convert a QuarkXPress 5 file into a format that can be opened directly by QuarkXPress 10. Basically any QuarkXPress documents older then version 7 can be run through this converter to make them compatible with version 10.

Try the tool here:

http://www.wiki-errors.com/wiki-errors.php?wiki=0xC0000142

The preferences file will be in the User\AppData folder.
C:\Users\ your user name\AppData\ Local\Quark\QuarkXPress 7 is the location in Vista with version 7 and it should have a similar location in Windows 7.

C:\Users\ your user name\AppData\ Local\Quark\QuarkXPress 9 is likely. (AppData has 3 folders - Local, Local Low and Roaming.)

You should not delete the folder. Instead rename it. Right click on the folder and select Rename. Then name it old_QuarkXPress 9.

This could be a hidden file. If you click Start and then enter Show hidden folders. Then put the bullet on Show hidden files, folders and drives. Then click Apply and OK.

If moving the AppData location to another folder doesn't solve the problem, check if there is a Preferences file in the Program Files folder ( C:\ Program Files\ Quark\ QuarkXPress 7.x for the old version.) If the new version is built for the 64-bit OS, it might be in the x64 Program File folder. Again rename the file if it is in that directory.

I hope this helps.

Please Navigate to HDD>>Users>>Home User>>Library>>Preferences>>Quark>>QuarkXPress 6.1 folder and delete all the files present in that folder.

Also check if there is any Preferences folder under HDD>>Applications>>QuarkXPress 6.1 folder, if yes then delete that folder as well.

Now launch QuarkXPress and check the results.

Please Navigate to HDD>>Users>>Home User>>Library>>Preferences>>Quark>>QuarkXPress 7.x folder and delete all the files present in that folder.

Also check if there is any Preferences folder under HDD>>Applications>>QuarkXPress 7.x folder, if yes then delete that folder as well.

Now launch QuarkXPress and check the results.

In case of a Windows machine Navigate to C Drive>>Program files>>QuarkXPress folder and create a new folder by the name Preferences with P in upper case.

For Mac HDD>>Applications>>QuarkXPress folder and create a new folder by the name Preferences with P in upper case.

Now launch QuarkXPress and it should work

Just Navigate to HDD>>Applications>>QuarkXPress 6 folder and create a folder by the name Preferences with P in upper case and now launch QuarkXPress.
