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.

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.

  • 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.

  • After removing the battery has lost the voice function bt

    I have a new Treo 800w and a new helmet Plantronics 925 bt. I have installed the voice on bt software, a connection is established and could be used to make voice calls (call john smith). I removed the battery to store the numbers series etc. When the Treo returned, I reinstalled the voice software as recommended. Now, I can answer calls and talk using the headphones, but I can't get the commands to work again. I have not installed any third party software. Any suggestions?

    Not sure why you re - install the software again after a soft reset. Remove the battery and re - insert the battery are a soft reset. See the instructions in the article below for the procedure to hard reset.

    The program got damaged during installation on top of the existing installiation.

    Here's the statement from the download page on re - install the patch.

    Effect of resets on this software

    If you install the voice dialing over Bluetooth download and perform a hard reset, you will need to re - install on download Bluetooth voice dialing.

    If you install the voice dialing over Bluetooth download and perform a soft reset, no action is necessary. Voice dialing over Bluetooth download remains installed after a soft reset.

    You may need to uninstall and re-install. The fastest way is to Hard reset the Treo and then re - install. the hard reset will erase all data on the Treo, so make sure that you synchronize before resetting hard.

    Here is the procedure to hard reset for Windows mobile Treo.

    Click on the following link for the Web page of kb.palm.com for the article to reset your Windows Mobile Treo smartphone.

    http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=41108

    Another option is to remove the application and then reinstall without doing a hard reset.

  • Satellite A55-S1065 - after removing the battery, BIOS ask me password

    So, something happened yesterday, and it seems to me that it is very strange.
    I have a portable Satellite A55-S1065. And while I was with power point, the
    computer crashes. In the midst of my confusion, I decided to delete
    the battery just to make him stop.

    So I did it and plugged it again
    and I tried to turn on the computer. Now, the bios ask me a password,
    but I've no idea what password it is that. Can someone help me solve this problem?
    IM really desperate to find a solution to this since this computer contain
    many of my works.

    Thank you very much.

    > After removing the battery, BIOS ask me password
    I know it may seem silly now, but I never heard of something like that. I use laptop for a long time and I had the experience with many others and strange question, but something like that, never.

    Problem is that we are dealing here in the public forum and BIOS password is a very sensitive area and very important security feature, so we can not write here about some illegal ways how you can remove the BIOS password.

    If there is no way to start your laptop, I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
    I'm sorry. :(

  • missing hal.dll message after removing the hard drive

    Original title:Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

    OK, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer? The reason why I ask, is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll lack. Since the hard drive is not installed, the only place where this message comes's cmos or bios of the computer.
    I know it seems odd, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it after removing the hard drive. It used to be with older computers and Windows 95 or 98 when you took a hard drive that wasn't working and installed with one that works from a different computer, you could swap out and boot the computer and make a few changes to some drivers if you.

    So what is windows xp write to the memory cmos on my computer?

    > Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll.

    The same as what? If you reference another thread, please include a link to it.

    > My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

    It is not write anything for her at all.

    > Lack of the reason why I ask this is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll.

    I think that you're wrong. I would like to say two things happening:

    1. you have more than one hard drive and the problematic drive was not removed, or

    2. you deleted something other than a hard drive.

    Do you have a CD in your CD drive by chance?

    What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS?

    Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

    I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

    I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

    Any help would be welcome.

    Thank you!

    So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

    Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)
