  • Error - the application or DLL is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette when trying to open a program or start the computer.

    Original title: bad image.

    I get two errors of bad image whenever I open a program or start a computer, for each program.  the error that says "the application or DLL is not a valid windows image. "Please check this against your installation diskette" I don't have any disk and don't know what to do.

    These file names, look a little suspicious and didn't get good Google search results, so I think that the first thing to do is to tell us a little about your system.  Now you can enjoy when you report a problem, provide you with any error messages you see and not a part of it (not paraphrase either).

    The second thing to do is to try to be reasonably sure that your system is free of malware and then if you have these problems, you can fix them (which would be the third thing to do).

    I still wonder why the Microsoft Support Engineer made you reference to an article that makes no sense at all...

    The first thing to do:

    Unfortunately, MS Answers forums does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything on your system.

    Because the Microsoft Answers forum does not ask for any type of information system when a new question is asked so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    The second thing to do:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The third thing to do:

    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    Hello Arturomaduro,

    By "stack" I assume you mean that the CD/DVD is 'stuck' in the player and you cannot get the drive to open it? The most important thing right now is to get the DVD from the drive. You have two options.

    1 / restart your PC and press the eject button on the CD/DVD drive to see if the drive open and release the CD/DVD. Normally, this should do the trick.

    2 / if my first option does not release the disc caddy, you will need a large paperclip and bend straight. Take a look at the front of your DVD drive and you should see a small hole. This is usually placed near the eject button. Make sure that your PC is off and you have removed the plug from the socket. Now insert the straigtened paper clip into the hole and the 'push' the draw caddy should now begin to open (or open completely). If it opens only paritally, then gently pull the draw caddy until it opens completely and then remove the CD/DVD. After removing the CD/DVD push the caddy draw lots to close. Be sure to gently push to clear the draw caddy.

    Maybe it's just a unique and the player will operate normally afterwards. If she keeps refusing to eject a CD/DVD, there may be something wrong with the CD/DVD unit itself.

  • PlibRCodec.dll message when trying to open webcam programs

    libRCodec.dll! message when I try to open the new Webcam. It is said that I didn't do it.

    Hello

     

    1. What is the exact full error message?

    2 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    3. what operating system are you using on your computer?

     

    I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to open the Webcam and check if that helps.

    Hi JoAnne Johnson,

    I suggest you try the following steps.

    Method 1 - execute a System File Checker tool.

    See this link for more information about the System File Checker tool.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    If the System File Checker is no help, perform a clean boot.

    Method 2: Run the clean boot.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  • All programs are now trying to open with WORD.

    Model HP laptop G56. Windows 7-64 bit. After inadvertently pressing the WORD by trying to open the Cubase 5 music program (after asking what program I want to open Cubase with) all the program on the desktop icons now appear as the letter W and the computer tries to not open in WORD now, which is impossible so no open programs. How I can fix this and restore the situation so that each program, i.e., Cubase, Excel and all the rest opens just in its own right? I tried to remedy this by the OPEN WITH menu, but it shows just a few programs and no way to repair my error.

    Hello:

    If it has not been produced for a long time, I just use the system restore utility and choose a restore point for awhile before you tried to open the program with Word.
