errors.__Programs bad image Explorer.exe and dwm.exe chrome.exe gel!

Laptop has gone haywire, a couple of days and were not abloe to use it since.

End laptop will start, then freeze as soon as I click on something. The cursor stays on loading mode (blue circle) until I have to manually turn off.

I ran windows Defender, but he couldn't finish before freezing.

I had Google chrome.exe bad image or dwm.exe and explorer.exe errors pop up.

I even tried to run in safe mode, but my malwarebytes scan froze at the 6 minute mark.

If all else fails, I'll have to re - install Vista, but hoped for more suggestions of your savvy it professionals there.

IM on Vista Home btw.

Altogether. Yes, you can replace a hard drive in a laptop. If the laptop is still under warranty, contact Dell technical support. If this isn't the case, you can buy a hard drive for the laptop to your favorite online or offline store. I normally buy equipment in NewEgg.com. Of course, you will need to install Windows on your new hard drive. If you do not have a recovery with her media, you need get the Dell disks. After you have installed Windows on your new hard drive, if it was not with a recovery disk, you will need to download/install drivers and utilities from the Dell Web site, update Vista Service Pack 2, do all the Windows updates, install a good antivirus (I recommend ESET NOD32 for a commercial and Avast for a free) restore your data from backup.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

    I have windows vista installed on my hp laptop. I used it for at least a year until a few months ago, I started to meet this error message at startup:
    "LogonUIexe-Bad Image C:\Windows\system32\HID.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program with the help of original installation media or contact your software support provider or system administrator."
    Is anyone having this problem. Please provide a cure.

    Hello sheritaG,

    Run The System File Checker utility:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search .
    2. Right-click cmd in the programs list and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click continue
    3. To order invites, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc)

    This analysis may take some time to complete. When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

    I'm trying the upgrade of vista x 64 sp1 to vista sp2 x 64. When the system tries to restart, it crashes with the error "0xc0190036 517/97646 (explorer.exe). I have to hard start and do a restore.

One of the suggestions was to run chkdsk.  This is the error I get when I run chkdsk: "explorer.exe entry index in the index file 35 $I30 are incorrect."  If I run chkdsk /f it says it removes the entry and then explorer.exe is an orphan.  When I reboot and running chkdsk /f even once, I get the same messages.
    Is the vista sp2 x 64 install error and the error from chkdsk associated.  What should I do?

  • error messages bad image

    Have an older Dell Dimension E510 under XP SP3.  At the start we get successive 'BAD IMAGE' error merssages.  For example, one is for "Services.exe - bad Image".  We click on OK, and a few seconds later, another Bad Image error message appears.  At the time of starting ends, we counted 28 messages of bad Image, each of which we 'OK' to continue with start.

    Then more bad Image error messages appear that we receive by e-mail, using IE, etc.

    Just started a week before, but seems to be here to stay.  I think I need to reload the OS, but thought I'd get other opinions first.

    There is some good advice from JoseIbarra in this thread. Follow it and post back with your results.

    On another note, since you had problems before (ie: your last thread) resettlement may be the answer, as when you format it will wipe everything for a fresh start.

    But maybe if the above link is for you, you can save yourself the time of relocation.

  • Quarantine Trojan leads to error messages 'Bad Image'

    Norton Security Suite recently detected and quarantined the Trojan horse of following my Windows 7 laptop:

    C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\ListSvc.dll

    Since then, Windows was display the following warnings:

    SynTPEnh.exe - bad Image
    C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\ListSvc.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.

    Different executables were proof this caveat, including: SynTPEnh.exe, Notepad, exe, pcdrcui.exe and pcdrsysinfosoftware.p5x.

    Apparently ListSvc.dll is a valid program that runs at startup. The registry contains the following information:

    Value name:
    @%SystemRoot%\System32\ListSvc.dll,-101

    Value data:
    Amendments to local computer associated with the configuration and maintenance of the computer attached to a homegroup. If this service is stopped or disabled, your computer will not properly work in a homegroup, and your homegroup might not work correctly. It is recommended to keep this service running.

    I have no idea where Norton quarantined ListSvc.dll, but other copies exist on the hard drive of my laptop. However, the system seems to point to the Trojan horse for some reason any.

    I've seen all sorts of complex responses to similar errors. What can I do on this will not be my laptop or me out of service for the next six months?

    Amit, I found myself to fix this problem myself as follows.

    I noticed that the history of Norton Security showed that download Insight analyzed C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\ListSvc.dll 25/12/2014 and feel "good."

    Then I open characteristics and control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and found that I had installed the following to this date:

    • Realtek Ethernet Controller Driver for Windows 7
    • WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software

    I have it installed via the device, no any website downloads Manager.

    I also searched my hard drive for files modified on that date and found a BUNCH of files related to NVIDIA in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\NvBackend games.

    I had some problems with NVIDIA drivers and reinstalled them a few days later.

    Then, I compared my laptop (where the problem exists) with my work laptop. I searched the records on two laptops and has identified the following:

    • Register my work laptop constantly stressed % SystemRoot%\System32\ListSvc.dll.
    • Most of the relevant entries in the register of my personal laptop is % SystemRoot%\System32\ListSvc.dll, but some of them has C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\ListSvc.dll.

    I have no way of knowing if everything I installed on 25/12/2014 also installed C:\ProgramData\{9A88E103-A20A-4EA5-8636-C73B709A5BF8}\ListSvc.dll and modified the registry to point here.

    I have no idea why Norton was an alarm until 02/03/2015.

    However, I edited the registry entries that are suspicious to point to %SystemRoot%\System32\ListSvc.dll and rebooted.

    So far, so good, no error message popping up.

    How about re-reading everything cela and ask what is efficiency you were slapping a thought ill, boilerplate answer on me?
