    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Why do I get "mscms.dll is not a valid windows image" on everything I try?

    I'm working on the kinks of swap hard drive in my Dell E310. The original tested 'ready to die' so I installed a new. I bought the backup for XP Pro disk, when I bought the computer. I loaded the operating system on the new drive and did the updates (80 or almost). I regularly get the message "the file or dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\mscms.dll is not a valid windows image."  What now?

    I've damaged my file mscms.dll on purpose and could not get any message about it even though I know that it is corrupt - maybe I wasn't quite hard.   I know that some other mscms.dll errors, but they are different.

    Tell me what you're doing to regularly get the message because I'd like to see it.

    After reinstalling and apply the updates of 80 or more, one of them was Service Pack 3?

    If you are not sure which SP you re running, click Start, run, and in the type box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK to see your system information and Service Pack and what does say?

    If the rest of your system works well, you can use Explorer to navigate to the c:\windows\system32 folder and rename your file to mscms.dll suspicious to a name, remember (like: mscms.bad).

    So if your Windows File Protection is not working properly, it will notice the missing file and quickly and quietly, to replace the missing file with a backup copy.

    Wait a few seconds... then press F5 in your Explorer window to refresh the view and see that the file has been replaced and you have the mscms.bad and a new copy of mscms.dll.

    You should see a message like this in your newspaper observer event system:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64002
    Description:
    File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\windows\system32\mscms.dll. This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is 5.1.2600.5627.

    Restart and see how things look now.

    I can also send you a version SP2 or SP3 file mscms.dll via my SkyDrive and you can rename your suspicious file and replace to see if that helps your condition.  You might have some settings do not match here.

    It also suggests that you can not run a software antivirus... If this is something you need to heal very quickly.  However, installing an antivirus application - if your PC is already infected - is usually ineffective.

    I suggest you do the following-
    (1) download and run a full scan using the Scanner for Ms.  Available here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    It does not install, is therefore more difficult for malware to block.
    (2) if that was clean, then get an anti-virus in real-time as soon as POSSIBLE.  There are many good choices (Norton, McAfee, etc.) which costs money, and several good without applications, including MS Security Essentials available here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials
    Note!  If you have another antivirus installed, do not add MSE.  Run two at once is precarious - they will conflict with each other.
    Also, make sure that your windows firewall is turned on, or you have another 3rd party firewall installed.

    Think like a malicious software...
    It infects your system and is not to be found and removed.
    What are you most likely to use to find and remove malware?
    Internet, Google, Task Manager, regedit, restore the system command prompt, etc...
    The malware is often afflicts one or more of these components to try to trick into thinking you need to perform a system restore, a repair facility, or even to reinstall your XP from scratch.  None of these things are necessary since you can usually just to thwart malware.
    If the referenced files are completely absent from your system, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Rstrui.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    If the referenced files are present on the system, but somehow corrupted, you will see messages like this when you try to run the applications:
    Taskmgr.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\VDMDBG.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Rstrui.exe - bad Image
    The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\framedyn.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Sometimes you can click through the OK messages to access the System Restore screen, but the restoration of the system is still broken.
    These files are part of the file 3498 who cares about Windows File Protection, so unless the WFP is also broken it is likely that files are missing completely (you get a different error message).  What is more likely is that the files are somehow corrupt or have been replaced by incorrect files.
    Assuming that XP is installed on your C drive and in the windows folder, XP keeps copies of 3498 files that he cares about this issue:
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
    On a health care system, Windows File Protection keeps track of 3498 protected files and quickly and quietly replaces all the files in the list that appears missing from the backup folder.  File protection Windows will not replace the files if they are somehow corrupted or replaced by bad files.
    You can simply copy the backup files in the dllcache folder in the folder where are the suspects or missing files.
    Using Explorer, navigate to the folder c:\windows\system32\dllcache and individually to copy the backup files in there and then navigate the folders where the suspect or incorrect files are and paste in the copied files.
    Depending on your installation, you can also find copies of the files in this folder:
    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
    Answer Yes, if you are prompted to replace existing files.
    Test your functions now and then to reboot your system to make sure the changes 'stick', and then fix any problems.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    We know that XP likes to keep the backup copies of critical system files in this folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Knowing this, start in Recovery Console XP using your genuine XP bootable installation CD or if you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can make one (no XP media required).  If you don't know what type of bootable media, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    If Yes, you want and are not in possession of a genuine XP bootable installation CD or a CD from Recovery Console XP bootable, the instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console can / will be provided before any questioning begins.

    You can replace the missing file or suspect the XP Recovery Console by entering the following command:

    Copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\odbcint.dll c:\windows\system32

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    If you get some type of a file not found message, the file is easily replaced using other methods.

    Remove the CD and type "exit" at the Recovery Console prompt to restart the system.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • I get a dll error message that says: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\kizinone.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

    I get a dll error message that says: "the application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\kizinone.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette.

    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".
