Error message - browseui.dll file is not a valid Windows image in the Windows XP computer.

Original title: how to fix browseui.dll without original windows disc?

Hello

Well, kids, here's the deal.

I myself locked out of my computer and installed PC login now erase my passwords. It has worked flawlessly, and I now have my computer back after months and months.

There was only a single small strangeness: whenever I connected my computer, he asked me to check my drive. Looking forward to get my computer and running and customized how I like it, I bypassed it the first few times. Then, when I had a few minutes, I thought I had better let the disk check, so I left it.

NOW, when I turn on my computer, I get an error message that my browseui.dll file is not a valid windows image and my windows Explorer does not work. So I've been doing on the web looking for a solution via the Task Manager, which is a pain. Someone suggested to use the scannow in the command prompt command line, so I tried, but it requires my disk of windows XP which I think can be in a different State with my mother.  So I simply bypassed it whenever he had the drive and VOILA! all peachy.

Until, that is, I turn on my computer again. We're back in the same place.  Well, this analysis running and without going through the disc each time took me about an hour, and I can't do that whenever I need to use my computer.

I tried the system restore, no change. I tried from the command prompt and choose a date AND choose "last good configuration" in the menu f12 or f8.  Without peanut.

We are this:

1. is there a way to correct this file without the disc?

2. can I get another copy of the disk without having to buy it?

3. Although I'm not PARTICULALRY, would be the Windows 7 upgrade solves the problem? (But I really like my XP...)

If the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file is damaged or missing, Explorer.exe does not start and you may see a message like this:

If the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file is corrupted, Explorer.exe does not start and you will see a message like this:

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

You can click OK and get to an empty office with only your display background image but still be able to maneuver with the Task Manager.

If missing the c:\windows\system32\browseui.dll file, Explorer.exe does not start and you will see a message like this:

Explorer.EXE - unable to locate component: this application has failed to start because BROWSEUI.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

You can click OK and get to an empty office with only your display background image but still be able to maneuver with the Task Manager.

Since we know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the dllcache folder, you can use the Task Manager to replace the file missing or distressed.

From the Task Manager, click file, new task (run...) and then click Browse and navigate to the c:\windows\system32\dllcache folder.  Make sure the "Files of type" box is set to show all files (or you will not see any), and then click OK to display all files.

Locate the copy of the browseui.dll file backup in the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache, made right click and copy and go back up a folder c:\windows\system32, right-click in an empty area and paste the file there.  Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

You can then start the Explorer in Task Manager by clicking file, new task (run...) and in the "Open:", enter:

Explorer.exe

Click OK to launch the Explorer and your office must return.

Or after replacing the file missing or suspicious, just restart the system task manager by clicking on stop and choosing restart and then Explorer will start to him only when the system is restarted.

If your computer to check your drive at every reboot, which means the "dirty bit" on the volume was probably settled and the only way to clear the dirty bit must run a chkdsk/r (which XP trying to do).   The dirty bit can be defined on a volume if there is a power interruption e.g. (plug pulling, using the power button / stop, etc.).

Sometimes, XP can't erase the bit of impurity in this way and it is preferable to run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what he does and run it again if necessary.

If you do not have any bootable media XP start in the XP Recovery Console, you can create a bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console CD and do all your work from there.

You can even replace the file browseui.dll from SP Recovery Console if it is your desire.

Need instructions to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console?  No Microsoft Support Engineer seems to know how to do this, but I do and will instruct you in the next reply.

    not a win32 application invalid and stop the download

    When I try to download tax forms IRS my computer says "application not valid windows 32 and stops downloading just 15 seconds before its filled! What the heck is wrong?

    Hello shelleyjane,

    Get the error: not a valid 32-bit application can have several origins:
    I have listed some of them below, and possible solutions.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.
    -If the hard disk is damaged or hurt it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.
    -If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.
    -You can download the app again and see if you still get the error message.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:
    -If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.
    -Although many old programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.
    -If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you can get this error.
    -If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.
    -
    This error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.
    -If the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program. start the computer in Mode safe will be that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    -If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.
    -Download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

  • 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 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. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • Error message: "Preflight.dll is missing or damaged.

    Hello

    I am currently converting a bunch of thesis PDF to PDF/A 1 - b through Action (batch processing). Some of them will resist conversion: Acrobat displays an error message: "Preflight.dll is missing or damaged.

    If I do it manually (open the PDF document and then "save under"-> "PDF/A"):

    -for 3 of them, I still get the above error message

    -for the other 3, I managed to create a PDF/A 1 - b version, but when I open it in Acrobat and browse the document I have a popup telling me "cannot retrieve the embedded police xxxxxxxxxxx. Some characters may be displayed or printed incorrectly"[house translation of the french to English ;-)].

    3 fonts seem to cause this problem:

    RRTVUI + Calibri italic

    ALONFR + Calibri

    SAPTZM + Calibri

    Note: I use a PC with Windows XP and Acrobat Pro XI v. 11.0.3

    As I understand it, PDF/A - 1b standard requires that all the fonts that will be embedded in the PDF file. But what happens when the author of the document used a font that I don't have on my computer? This means that in these cases I will not be able to create a PDF/A 1 - b version for archival purposes?

    This is even more disturbing in one of the PDF/a 1 - b with police problems, I realized that the original text has been changed (some '%' characters are not displayed at all).

    At the beginning I intend to archive only the PDF/A 1 - b version of the thesis, but now I realize that it is much more complicated than I thought: some PDF refuse to be converted (for some unknown reason), and some are modified in the process!

    Can you please help me to know:

    -Why some PDF documents cannot be converted to the format PDF/A 1 - b ("Preflight.dll is missing or corrupt")

    -a way to tackle the problem of fonts?

    Thank you!

    "As I understand it, PDF/A - 1b standard requires that all the fonts that will be embedded in the PDF file. But what happens when the author of the document used a font that I don't have on my computer?

    Yes and Yes. You must incorporate (rules of PDF/A) and therefore, you must have. It doesn't seem to be a way around it.

    It is certainly not true that every PDF can be made for PDF/a.
