DavClnt.DLL not designed to run on windows...

When I click on the icon for several programs, in this case Outlook, I get "Outlook.EXE - bad Image" and the body of the error of reading...

C:\Windows\system32\DavClnt.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the provider of software for support.

However, when I press 'OK' the program opens and I can work as usual.  Some desktop icons were erased and I simply chose the icons for each of them and they seem to hold.  Any idea what caused this?  How should I do?  Is this a virus?  I heard it might be a Java compatibility issue too.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

I'm running a Dell XPS 9000, Windows 7 and these programs worked very well last week... I don't know what happened to cause the errors.

Hi again George.  My apologies, I have received an email notification that this topic had an answer and found your answer purely by chance.

Do you still need help?  If Yes, try the suggestions in the MS article here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

If you still have a problem after trying this, you can try your Win7 DVD file extraction and replace it in your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder. You will have to take possession of it, once you have extracted it (before any attempt of replacement).  See http://blog.nirsoft.net/2009/09/17/how-to-extract-missing-system-files-from-the-dvd-of-windows-7vista/ for more help. Just make sure you check out the file in the correct directory.

    I had to click OK 4 or 5 times to make it go away

    Many installers will not work because of this.

    ( 1 copy the file in a place should be on my boot drive (c :) in my case))

    2 . restart your computer , press and hold F8 as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to start over; to do this, hold the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    3 . Select repair your computer and press enter.

    4 . Select the option for command line

    type 5 bcdedit | find "osdevice" (note that there is a space after bcdedit and | and also find) that will tell you what drive letter to use to access your startup drive (d: in my case)

  • Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

    I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome.

    Hi Raygun55,

    o Fable: The Lost Chapters

    o Zoo Tycoon 2

    o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

    2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

    3. Locate, and then click computer.

    4. search and then click on the CD drive.

    5. Locate and then click the following folder:

    CD player :\ DirectX9

    Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

    6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

    In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

    Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

    7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

    Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

    8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

    Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.
