Windows Installer runs when trying to open any program

• 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.

• The Windows Installer appears constantly everytime I open any folder.

  Whenever I open any folder on my desktop or open my computer or anything like that, the windows installer appears.

  Also I can not install any programs, it gives me an error message cannot install the program, a facility is underway complete that installation before continuing.

  There is also to msiexec.exe running.

  I tried the Windows install cleanup, this would not work saying that my windows installer may are not installed correctly.

  Ive been struggling with this for always.

  This started after I did a cleanup on my computer and delete some registry keys for some software, for some time it was asked to install the accelerator earthlink with a cd, I got rid of these files (I think) but the problem persists.

  I am running windows xp professional on an evo d510 sff manufactured by compaq. My processor is a intel pentium 4.

  Any help please? Ive been working on it for centuries.

  Hello Lowki11,

  You can also try a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

  Reboot your system.

  I hope this helps.

• Error - installation failed when trying to open AVG Antivirus and internet options will not open.

  Original title: I need help to fix my 'internet options' in the control panel.

  THiiS is a recent problem and I don't know what may have caused it. I tried to install a new virus program to see if the problem was a virus or spyware. I have read that sometimes AVG will cause problems. But in order to install the new antivirus, I have to remove AVG... cannot do! It says "installation failed" when I try to open the long counter. There is therefore no uninstall program. I need to open my internet options in the control panel to start the process of fixing things. but it does not open. I can't download all the programs from my browser. In the lower right hand corner of my IE on the left 'internet' is a white box with a red X.

  UPDATE... I used my external CD/dvd drive and was able to copy the installation for firefox to a computer and put it on the shot, I have problems with. Hooray! success... Now, I have firefox and a navigation bar and was able to successfully download a program from the internet. Now, try to uninstall AVG... (how the hell uninstall something that says 'installation failed')

• Windows Live Mail - a problem occurred when trying to open this message

  Hello

  I have a question where several emails appear in my list to the Inbox, but when trying to open them, the "this is a problem when you attempt to open this message" error.  After investigation, I noticed that the messages in question also appear in my file to delete items.  There, I can open them, so it turns out that the header of the message remains in the Inbox without the body.

  After reading many forum, I ran the command "esentutl.exe d «%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Mail.MSMessageStore»»  Subsequently, I now can't open Windows Live Mail, seeing the error "Windows Live Mail could not be started.  The application could not open the Windows Live Mail message store. Your Windows Live Mail mailbox data is currently used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait so he could complete its operation, then open Windows Live Mail again. (0x800C0155, 2) »

  I then delete the message store file so that Windows Live Mail restores a backup in order to restart the program and check my email.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

• Windows Live mail tells me I have an invalid password when trying to open the e-mail message in the client.

  I can sign into my e-mail account of Bellsouth/yahoo online through my browser, but Windows Live mail tells me I have an invalid password when trying to open the email in the WLM client.  I have rebuilt Windows Essentials, I made sure that the password is shorter than 16 characters.

  Windows Live Mail has worked until I suspected my e-mail account had been hacked, and I changed my password. Twice (on the 3 dozen attempts) WLM has requested a password, I entered into it, and it downloaded my email on the server, and then gave me an error saying that it could not complete the task and would not send/receive once again - it just keeps asking for the password.
  What Miss me?
