application or the C:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll dll is not a valid windows image

Hi everyone, my fathers laptop crashed yesterday and since then he was able to start and the following message appears

application or the C:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll dll is not a valid windows image

something appears then it restarts. I did some occasional checking of this problem, as believe that he may be able to replace the file with its installation in recovery mode disc, although neither nor I did before can someone provide some support on what to do, ideally if we can get into windows and get the docs off the laptop computer he is happy the new facility because I think that it maybe Basic virus/malware issue.

Thank you for your time and help in advance

If the c:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll file is missing, you see a message like this:

User Interface failure
The logon User Interface DLL msgina.dll failed to load.
Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original DLL.

There is a button to click to restart, which when clicked, takes a while to reboot the system.

If the c:\windows\system32\odbcint.dll file is corrupted, you will see a message like this:

Winlogon.exe - bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\odbcint.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

By clicking OK twice, you will see the message above about the failure of User Interface.

There will be events in the case where the viewing Application log that look like this:

Event type: error
Event source: ODBC
Event category: no
Event ID: 0
Description:
Cannot find the description for event ID (0) in Source (ODBC). The local computer may not have the information necessary registry or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the option/auxsource = flag to retrieve this description; For more information, see Help and Support. The following information is part of the event: unable to load the resource DLL odbcint.dll.

You should figure out what happened to get into this situation and respond to the following questions, then decide which is the best plan:

Please provide additional information on your system:

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

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 afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

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

Fill in the blank: my system worked well until: _.

Did the problem to the top after show installed new software and if so, what software?

You have recently installed any type of remote control software?

Now to fix it depends on how you are fixed to the boot media, since you'll have to start on something.

We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

Knowing this, start in Recovery Console XP using your genuine XP bootable installation CD or if you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can make one (no XP media required).  If you don't know what type of bootable media, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

If Yes, you want and are not in possession of a genuine XP bootable installation CD or a CD from Recovery Console XP bootable, the instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console can / will be provided before any questioning begins.

You can replace the missing file or suspect the XP Recovery Console by entering the following command:

Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\odbcint.dll c:\windows\system32

Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

If you get some type of a file not found message, the file is easily replaced using other methods.

Remove the CD and type "exit" at the Recovery Console prompt to restart the system.

Do, or do not. There is no test.

I decided to implement the points for a new puppy instead of a pony!

    A Google search for "[insert the name of the file]" grown up nothing. When you get no hits for a filename on Google, chances are high that it is a malicious program file. You did not when you get the message. If it's only at startup, either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup. If you get the message during regular time on the computer and not not only at startup, your computer is still infected.

    Norton will do the job of cleaning and registry cleaners are garbage who at best will not do anything and the worst risk damage to your Windows installation.

    First of all, make sure that the computer is really free of virus/malware through these systematically - General malware removal steps http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware . Then, if the computer is really clean and you still receive the message, manage your Startup to remove the reference to the malware:

    Start > run > msconfig [Enter]

    This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

    Hey Todd-Cindy-MorganBurris,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. You are able to boot into Windows after the error message?

    Method 1

    If you are unable to boot into Windows then check if the problem persists in safe mode.

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Method 2

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 3

    If you can boot into safe mode and clean boot procedure don't help then I would suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that will search the corrupted system files and check if that helps.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

  • How do you fix C:\Windows\system32\DNSAPI.dll is not a valid windows image. etc? __

    After a new installation or a repair of xp pro sp3, everything works fine, until I have download 57 updates. On reboot, the message, and then sytem hangs.

    The recent update of KB2509553 contained a new file dnsapi.dll (and other things) that patched a hole that "could allow remote code execution" on your system.

    If you have symptoms lists these:

    Lsass.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because DNSAPI.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Lsass.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\DNSAPI.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

    .. .it sounds like the update or of parts of it has failed.

    If you copied into an older file, your system may then start OK, but part of the security update is missing.

    I don't know if that is considered to be a "fix" or not... but you can get free help/support for the update using the details in the KB page.

    Maybe here Microsoft support engineers know how to solve this problem too (I asked last week).

    Tip: There is nothing wrong with the update - the problem is a problem on the system that does not have the update installs successfully.

    Solve this problem and the update will install correctly and you'll have security installed was last updated.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.
    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
    Method 2:
    a. click Start, click run, type System32.
    b. enter OK

Please check against your installation diskette. I'm not a programmer or anything, just an ordinary girl looking for help.

    System Machanic 6 has detected that a file Advpack.dll was spyware on his deep optimization of Start Up procedure. However, Windows replaced after its deletion and I ran SM6 Pro again. This time he ignored the file.

    CONCLUSION: There are maybe a program that replaces the Advpack.dll real with a fake spyware Trojan. Perhaps in one of the free SP2 packs on the internet or another program. Here again, it may be a fault with Spyware detectors.

    As long as the file is replaced by Windows automatically, so there is no real problem, and we can thank God for the major spyware removal programs.
