  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".

  Original title: lockout

  I get a black screen with the message from the application or DLL C;|WINDOWS\system32\NCObjAPI.DLL is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

  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.

• Performance issues in XP after removing the Trojan horse, now get "the application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\qnwzuc.dll is not a valid Windows image.

  I have a Toshiba laptop older, bought in a shop of second hand computer, running XP Home. I have no "Setup disk.

  I get this pop-up message: "the application or DLL C:\Windows\system32\qnwzuc.dll is not a valid Windows image. "Please check this against your installation diskette."

  I also get about 20 pop different messages, like this: Image Bad - Isass.exe, bad Image - OSA9.exe, bad Image - msimn.exe, mbamgui.exe, bad - services.exe and so on

  Just download and run StopZilla, which found Trojan called TDSS and removed him, but these messages are unchanged.

  The computer is much slower that used to be, sometimes turns off automatically.

  The computer is much slower that used to be, sometimes turns off automatically.

  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.

  Hello
  • What were the changes made before the issue started?
  I suggest you return these methods:
  Method 1:
  I suggest you make a system full scan just to be sure.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  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.

• realsched.exe - Bad Image DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\sejezeni.dll is not a valid Windows image

  Woe is me; The title explains the error. More important is the fact that it is not a day happens without experiencing a few problems with my computer. 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...

  Your computer is infected and you should clean it following the instructions on the link below, or with a qualified local professional machine. This is not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. All the tools listed on my site are free and safe.
