    I try to install Life Cam VX-5000. I get an error image DXSETup.exe - bad... It is said THAT DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check against your installation diskette. I'm not a programmer or anything, just an ordinary girl looking for help. Can someone walk me through what to do to solve this problem in simple terms? Thank you!

    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.

    I get a dll error message that says: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\kizinone.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

    I went to the system registry to find the file it refers and is not a he.  I ran a norton registry cleanup and a virus scan.  I did find something online that made reference to this dll file.  The message appears at any time that I start a new program.  How to fix this, or find the virus that is the cause.

    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.

    If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned, the first thing I have with it would be to reinstall the operating system itself. You know not how the computer has been maintained, which has been incorrectly installed, what is missed, what virus and spyware, there may be, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.

    Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you reinstall Windows properly.

    I suggest you return these methods:
    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
    c. find mcenspc.dll
    d. right-click on the file, then click on Remove.
    e. restart the computer.
  • 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.

I confess not to know diddly about computers easily, but have read enough in various forums to know that your computer can get infections from almost anywhere, a good example being sites that tell you that you can be introduction of virus etc when downloading free malware... and in the next breath to download their virus killer... What to do? We have AVG and some other programs of protection I thought secure me (they are supposed to find all the bad things before they enter my computer). I'd better take my turn at best buy and have a lobotomy performed? The thought that this computer can be compromised and some lowlife leaching on me gives me the willies. One last thing, I can't get rid of this error window and none of my malware scans work. Sorry to be so lengthy...

    Error message for several packages of software that I installed, including Outlook and Adobe. Where can I get a copy of the correct file to copy on the wrong file I have. I have no installation disk, and need this file to be correct.

    Looks like some sort of malware infection.

    I suggest talk us a bit about your system and then run the scans indicate below, then when the scans is clean, the persistent problems.

    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?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    While you wait, I could do this:

    No matter what you use for protection against malware, perform the following analyses for malware, then correct any problems:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these malware free
    detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, then to solve any problems.
