BAD IMAGE

I've tried everything listed on the net to get iTunes up and running to no avail. The error message I get (sometimes) is:
iTunes.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\softpub.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
When I go into the task manager, it lists iTunes.exe as running, and when I shut down the computer, it tells me iTunes is not responding so I have to shut it down manually. Mind you, it never actually loads.
Anyone had and solved this problem?

"Acrobat.exe- Bad Image" error message, Can't open anything with Acrobat

I have Acrobat Pro 9.0
OS Windows 7
Just started having this error problem show up within the past couple weeks.
Every time I try to open a document the browser freezes up for a few minutes (and I've tried on two different browsers), wont load the page, then I get this message:
Acrobat.exe - Bad Image
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\ Acrobat\BIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.
I have had this program for several months and never had an issue.
Haven't changed anything I can think of...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I also tried just opening the program directly and got the same message.

My Acrobat 9 Pro freezes constantly. Seeing a pdf inside mutiple browser is not possible. Most of the time Acrobat 9 Pro and Acrobat Reader X starts within 5 min! As soon as I do anything, the top bar that shows "File", "Edit" etc. dissapears and averything freezes! Security software with possible firewalls I've uninstalled. Un- and re-installing Acrobat doesn't change anything. I'm using MS Windows XP, running Adobe CS4. Making any pdf's is no problem. I just can't see them. I can open a pdf inside Illustrator but that goes page by page. Any help?

How do you get rid of this pop up "flashplayer plugin_11_7_700_224.exec-Bad Image"?

Whenever I go to any website, the following popup comes up "flashplayer plugin_11_7_700_224.exec- Bad image". And most of the time it's not just one of those pop ups that turn up, it's usually like 10 in a row or maybe more. The other day I was online and my screen went black and then all of sudden it was blue and there was a message in the upper left corner that said "crash dump". Anyone have any tips or advice for me. Bear in mind, I don't know much about computers.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Windows bad image in Vista playing wmv file error

I have created a multimedia file with movieclips and audio. The file plays perfectly on XP2 and XP3 machines. However I have one Vista machine which reports a bad image error when clicking the play button for the movie. This error will display after three attempts after which the file will play without problem. The file embedded in Acrobat 8 is a WMV file.
The error message is as follows: Exception processing image
0xc000007b parameters 0x75AD023C 0x75AD023C 0x75AD023C 0x75AD023C
The vista laptop is the one we use to demo files so it would be great to establish what the problem is. Do not have access to another vista machine to compare.
Many thanks

I tried the 8.1.2. upgrade but for some reason it made no difference...however installing Acrobat 9 Reader helped and cleared the error. This is a little disturbing because companies are not as ready to install updates (some are still using Acro 5) so it is difficult to acertain what the receiver is seeing. But yes 9 fixed the problem.

ITunes/QuickTime "Bad Image" Error Message

Running Windows 2000 Professional on a PC. iTunes and QuickTime are loaded and had been running successfully for a long time. Suddenly, every time I try to open iTunes a box pops up titled "iTunes.exe - Bad Image," and in the box is the error message "The application or DLL C:\ProgramFiles\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." (There is no installation diskette.) I believe the first time this occurred was just after I had been prompted to download an update to QuickTime, which I did. I cannot close the error message box, neither by clicking on "OK" nor by clicking on the "X". The only way I can get rid of it is to restart the computer. Also, I cannot open iTunes. Any suggestions?

hi Sandy!
With regard to the prompt to upgrade QuickTime, I could be wrong about that, but I am almost sure that I got one of those standard "A New Version of ...... is available. Would you like to download it now?"
Okay ... sorry about that. i might well be wrong about it being unusual. i think i downloaded my 7.1 before i ever actually ran QuickTime on its own. (i was troubleshooting an itunes video sound problem i was having.) the rest of the time, i tend to get my new QTs when a new version of itunes shows up. so i guess i always upgrade before QT ever says to me that there's a new version available.
anyhoo, if you've got a standard QT 7.1 in there, we should start by doing a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Updating Acrobat 9.0 causes error "Acrobat.exe - Bad Image"

Full error is:
Acrobat.exe - Bad Image
C:\Program Files (x86)\adobe\acrobat 9.0\acrobat\BIB.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
Running repair doesn't fix it, only un-installing it and re-installing from scratch. This happens on multiple machines with the same result. As soon as the update is ran it no longer opens and has the error.
I've tried manually updating it version to version starting at the first 9.1 release but I run into the same error after installing the first update. Uninstalling Acrobat after manually running the first update produced another error durring uninstallation. Error 1905.Module C:|Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\authplay.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT -2147220472. Contact your support personnel.
System is Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit running on a VDI in a box from Citrix. Version of Acrobat is Pro.
Any thoughts or ideas on this would be great, thanks.
Joel

Are you running updates from the Help menu in Acrobat or by downloading the updates. When you have problems, it is probably best to try running the updates as downloads from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows. You will need to generally install the updates in order. You would reboot after the last update.

I have an older version of flash player in my new computer and I can't uninstall it it is system 32 and I have system 64 I am not much of a computer person and need help I keep getting pop ups saying there is a bad image

I have an older version of flash player that seems to be in my computer_16_0_0_305.exe and it says bad image
I could not uninstall it and put a new one in. I keep getting this pop up 2 and 3 times.

Hi,
The Flash Player installer is a universal installer for both 32 and 64-bit systems. On a 64-bit OS, it installs both versions, on a 32-bit OS, it installs only the 32-bit version. I'm confused by why you think you only have the 32-bit version. Please provide more information, including screenshots (How to post a screenshot in the forum) so that we may further troubleshoot your situation.
Thank you.

TS1717 ITUNES.EXE - Bad Image. C:\Window\System32\Softpub.dll Problem

I have been having a problem getting into ITUNES. my computer is giving me a Message when i launch Itunes and says
ITUNES.EXE - Bad Image
C:\Windows\System32\Softpub.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.
I have tried downloading the Softpub.dll file and tried replacing it, but my computer says I am not the trusted manager (I am the Admin on this PC and dont know why I cant change it. if anyone can help that would be great. Thanks....

b noir - You are awesome! I was having the "bad image" problem with the after downloading ITunes 10. I also had a problem with a DEP error (as you know - data execution protection). I tried so many things in combination to fix these problems, I am not sure which piece of your advice finally did the trick! Regarding the bad image, I renamed the file as you recommended. I tried downloading a new softpub.dll. I didn't think I was successful, but there it was right where it was supposed to be. I used the Windows Error Checking feature (right click on C Drive, properties, tools) to clean things up. Lastly, a friend recommended using a different USB port to sync for the first time. UREKA! I can now sync. Thanks for all of your suggestions, b noir!

Bad Image iTunes.exe c:windows/system32\d3d8thk.dll

I started to download 4.0 for iPhone and iTunes upgrade displayed, so I clicked OK. Download was successful installed no error. Clicked to open got this message:
Bad image iTunes.exe c:windows/system32\d3d8thk.dll designed not to rum on windows or it contains an error.
Uninstalled iTunes from system. New download of iTunes still get same error message.

d3d8thk.dll
You're having trouble with one of your DirectX Windows operating system files there.
Perhaps the first thing we should try with that one is an sfc /scannow, as per:
[How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
Does the scannow find/repair any damage? If so, can you get iTunes to reinstall/launch now?

10.6.2: Bad image quality with SIPS

I used to convert my PDF documents with SIPS like this:
/usr/bin/sips --setProperty format jpeg --setProperty formatOptions high -z 400 200 sourcefilename.pdf --out targetfilename.jpg
This results in a very bad image quality after updating to 10.6.2 (the text contained in the source pdf file is nearly unreadable in the resulting image, especially when using the -z attribute for downsizing).
I could reconstruct this behaviour with several machines today: when using 10.6.1 the quality is fine, but after the update to 10.6.2 the resulting image quality is unacceptable.
Any ideas? Or could this be a bug? The man page for sips does not contain any information about new parameters and the image quality for other target formats (tif, png, ...) seems to be ok.

That picture looks like it was taken in a dimly lit room.
You could try using night mode but you will need a very steady hand.
Most basic phone cameras just cannot produce good pictures indoors when not in brightly lit areas. LED flashes just cannot do a good enough job when compared to real cameras.
Megapixels don't equal quality, it's the lens and flash that make the biggest difference.

Os windows 7 trying to install PhotoKit 2.06 in CS4 getting 'Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe - Bad Image. Have tried downloading Photokit from a different source - same problem. How can I get this to install please?

Has anyone had a problem installing PhotoKit 2.06 in CS4? I keep getting 'Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe Bad Image. I have tried installation files from 2 different sources without success. Pixel Genius suggested dropping the unzipped files directly into Plug-ins - that didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Peter
I am in touch with Pixel Genius, the plug-in developer, and so far ( this has been going on for 5 days) a solution has not been forthcoming, hence my post. The required files are shown in Windows Explorer but will not load when I fire up CS4. Previously, I ran version 1.2.4 of PhotoKIt without a problem but that was uninstalled to make way for the latest software. Pixel Genius have asked me to open up CS4 Help, System info, and send it to them which I have done. I wait in hope!
