Windows Live Media have of these four DLLs associated with them;

C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wow64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wow64win.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wow64cpu.dll

Manually register the dependent .dll files of this error and see if that fixes the problem.

To do this, click on the ORB start / to the command line search / right-click on the command prompt in the programs list / select RUN as ADMINISTRATOR / in the command line type

Regsvr32 /s ntdll.dll and hit enter / hit and regsvr32 /s wow64.dll then enter. / then hit and regsvr32 /s wow64win.dll seized. / then hit and regsvr32 /s wow64cpu.dll seized.

Try to open your programs again.

If this does not work, try the command SFC/scannow from the ORB/start / enter the line of research type SFC/scannow.

Let us know if there are mistakes that he can't solve.  If it fixes any errors trying to reopen the program.

  • error windows\system32\advpack.dll is not a valid image

    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 was also unable to get my Dell 940 printer to work.

    ·         Windows 7 installation succeeded on the computer?
    ·         What is a custom installation or upgrade installation that you perform on the computer?

    This error message can occur if the equipment does not meet the requirements for Windows 7.

    I suggest that you run chkdsk in Windows Recovery Environment [RE] that could help solve the problem.

    You can access Windows RE using the Windows 7 installation disc or a previously created system repair disc.

    To use this method, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the disk.

    Insert the disc.
    Restart your computer using the power button on the computer.
    If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on repair your computer.
    Select the Windows installation you want to repair, and then click Next.
    In the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt to open it.
    8. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press enter Chkdsk /F /R

    9. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    Note: When you restart, Windows checks the drive for errors, and then Windows starts. Now run the disk check in command prompt, follow the steps below:

  • c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll - update error 646

    I continue to wear on one of my two machines updates failed code 646 for the Office updates. I have questions about c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll versions (and other related files apparently). I have Windows Update set to check and let me decide. I have maintained security using workaround to manually
    Download.

    On my desk for c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, the version is 7.3.7600.16385. This machine is a Dell Inspiron (put into operation in July 2009) with Windows 7 HP 32 (update Vista HP 32 recently), Intel and Office Professional 2003. Properties show that the file has been
    created, modified and accessed July 17, 2009. This machine has never had any failure of an update.

    On the laptop (Compaq V6508AU) HP version c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll is 7.4.7600.226 - Vista HP 32 (put into operation in September 2007), AMD and Office Professional 2003.  Created and consulted on October 4, 2009, amended August 7, 2009. This machine
    a constant codes 646 failure for the Office updates in October, November and December, i.e. after creation and consulted on date.

    Is the version on the laptop of the cause of the update error 646? Why the desktop version are previous to the laptop?

    I'm just guessing that this problem could be linked to the MSOcache or a related Office registry error only.

    Maybe the uninstallation and reinstallation of Office isn't enough (sometimes it was not in the past).

    You mention WSUS that is not Windows Update Agent. WSUS is completely different from system update.

    Maybe to a certain stage why some have the problem with 646 with office and others are not clearly will some time in the future. At the moment we have only the work around, which is annoying but works.
