Error: _ "Sidebar.exe - bad image"__windows/system32/sfc.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains and error. " Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator. __

Help, please!
I started my computer today and it came with this error:

"sidebar.exe - incorrect image.
Windows/System32/SFC.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains and error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator.

I click on OK, then he said:

I click OK and then it says:

"hpqtra08.exe - incorrect image.
Windows/System32/SFC.dll is not designed to run on windows or it contains and error. Try to install the program by using the original installation media or contact your system administrator.

Also I got an error report saying that windows sidebar stopped working.

My computer is VERY slow in all the commands I give.
I also tried to run the sfc (System File Checker command) and acts like he is going to run the program, but then just closed.

Do you have an idea what is happening with my computer and what I can do to fix this?

Thank you very much!

Hi deacon829,

You did changes to the computer before that happened?

Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, to do this, follow the steps below,

Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

Step 2: If you try to install any application before this program, try to uninstall them.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

If this solves the problem, you can deduct that the demand is probably corrupted, damaged or incompatible. You can check with the manufacturer of the program for more information.

Step 3: System Restore: System Restore to put the computer's system files to an earlier point in time.

Look for steps to restore of the system in the link below:

If the problem persists,

  • C:\Windows\System32\wship6.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.

    I can't open windows live mail and other programs that also many installers will not work for this reason.

    I get the following error:

    C:\Windows\System32\wship6.dll is not designed to run on
    Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program using the
    the original installation media or contact your system administrator or
    the Publisher of the software to support

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

    Many installers will not work because of this.

    System information:

    OS version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64-bit

    Here's what I did to remedy:

    I had to replace the \wship6.dll c:\windows\sysWOW64 file not the file c:\windows\system32\wship6.dll

    I had to start Windows Recovery Environment, load the command prompt and replace the file c:\windows\sysWOW64\wship6.dll to a system of work w7 (I used an iso oem and 7zip)

    ( 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)

    type 6 the drive letter followed by a: (d: in my case) and press enter , the guest must pass to < DriveLetter >: (in my case d:)

    type 7 copy < your place should be > wship6.dll windows\syswow64\wship.dll (replace < your place should be > with the full path to where you place the file) (note the space between the .dll and windows)

    If this does not work, you may need to replace syswow64 system32 in all the above instructions

  • C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error when it tried to update to windows live messenger

    Original title: installing windows live messenger update revealed a .dll file bad, maybe direct3d related.

    I am running windows Vista professional, service pack 2. I just updated windows live essentials, specifically the Messenger and have since lost feature program.

    The launch of the program, I get an error message saying:

    "
    Msnmsgr.exe - bad Image

    C:\Windows\System32\D3D10Level9.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.
    "

    subsequently I do not have much in graphical material in the e-mail program, insofar as a chat window is empty (but I can still type messages and send them, without being able to see, or no response). I don't see this problem in any other program, but perhaps no other programs try to use graphics in this way. In principle, I could downgrade windows live Messenger back to what it was, but that seems more to avoid the problem rather than solve them.

    I had a quick glance in the D3D10Level9.dll file, in the system32 folder: it has no size and is apparently empty. Conclude that this file is just broken and needs to be replaced?

    An internet search indicates that this file is described as "Direct3D 10 to Direct3D9 translation Runtime". I was wondering if it was a directx problem, so tried to reinstall that. It did not work.

    It seems to me that I need a replacement for this particular dll file that actually works, but I'm incredibly careful to find a replacement and the "tips" on how to mess with some arbitrary site system files.

    Could someone offer any advice on how I should proceed with this? What danger is there to find me a replacement dll file, change the privileges of the corrupted file, so I can replace it and make the switch? It would be the right thing to do? My analysis of the situation is correct? Could it be solved with a relocation of a program?

    Thank you very much

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the update of windows for a year that has put the file d3d10level9.dll on the computer, the problem has been resolved.

    2 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    3. you are trying to install or run a program in this error message?

    This could be caused due to damaged DLL files.

    I suggest you to perform system File Check to fix the corrupted system files, and then check how it works.

    Note: It can ask the Windows DVD difficulty and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.
