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?

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!

Since my last windows update, whenever I open firefox I get an error message saying BAD IMAGE on the file C:\windows\system32\WRusr.dll. Can you help me?

The message I get is the following:
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WRusr.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contain an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your administrator or the software vendor for support."
I can't open Mozilla firefox anymore. I have tried reinstalling 3 times already.

hello, the file you have referenced appears to be part of Webroot SecureAnywhere - try to remove that software in case you have it installed on your system.

I suggest that you reinstall the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 redistributable https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
If you are on a 64-bit system you should also install the x64 version http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523

Hello Roland_Zeki,
Can you check System in the Windows Log of Event Viewer? Maybe you have some logon failure for one of the services, like in this blog:

Yes I have verify this point I suspected to be the origine of the problem. But no, the accounts have fixed password and are not locked. I test this point with a valide login on the server, and I reenter the login password for each app pool.

Windows 7 in domain Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\Slmgr.vbs /ato = license key not found

Hi,
1 Windows 7 machine doesn't want to activate its license key after deployment.It says "this copy is not genuine".
When I run >Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\Slmgr.vbs /ato it says "Error: product not found."
It seems as if it doesn't find the local/general KMS key (needed to activate the key).
I was wondering if somebody could explain the working of this KMS key so we can analyze/troubleshoot.
Pls advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Well, that works indeed. The question now is "what happened". Entering the KMS key into the client works.

Windows\system32\QUARTZ.dll can't open in Windows. Can't use Premiere Elements.

I am looking for a way to get a solution to this error which keeps preventing me from opening my Premiere Elements 11 program. I have previously used the program without any problems. But last week I had a new HDD installed in my laptop (Dell Studio XPS 1640 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit). Now I can't open Premiere Elements and can't edit my videos.
When I try to open the program, I get an error which reads:
Font Capture: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\QUARTZ.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original instalation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support
My computer technician did use an image of my laptop to transfer everything onto the new HDD. I have no idea if that is relevant to this software problem.
I posted this question previously and was directed to a link which instructed me to update my DirectX and other graphics drivers. I did all that already. I still can't open Premiere Elements. I want to ask Adobe Support, but since they just launched Premiere Elements 12, I guess I no longer get direct support from Adobe? Not sure but that is how it seems to work. I will try any advice given to resolve this issue, if anyone has ideas.
Thanks!
Janeen

Did you try reinstalling as indicated by the error message? Transferring images is not a good way to install Adobe programs.

C/windows/system32/wmp.dll

Hello support team,
my window 7 media will not open- I tried turning feature on & off many times, I tried SFC scan, can fix the problem.
It keep saying " Wmplayer.exe bad image' 'c/windows/system32/wmp.dll ' has error ' window media player is not installed property and must be reinstall"
But I can anything on Microsoft download site that I can download. Any suggestions ?
Thank you so much for youer assistance
SAM

Hi,
First, I suggest you run a security program to scan your system to see if there is any virus may cause your issue.
Then, we can try to copy the wmp.dll from a good Windows 7 computer or installation media and manually replace to check the results: You'd better log into Safe mode to perform following steps.
1.Take administrative ownership of the corrupted system file. To do this, at an elevated command prompt, copy and then paste (or type) the following command, and then press ENTER:
takeown /f "C:\Windows\System32\wmp.dll"
2.Grant administrators full access to the corrupted system file. To do this, copy and paste (or type) the following command, and then press ENTER:
icacls "C:\Windows\System32\wmp.dll" /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F
3.Replace the corrupted system file with a known good copy of the file. To do this, copy and paste (or type) the following command, and then press ENTER:
Copy Source_File "C:\Windows\System32\"
Note The Source_File placeholder represents the path and file name of the known good copy of the file on your computer
If we still fail to fix this issue, I recommend your manually install WMP from a installation media:
I recommend you use following commands running as admin to reinstall Media player from a installation media:
Uninstall features:
Dism /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsMediaPlayer
Mount a wim file from installation media:
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\test\mount\windows
Install Windows Media player from mounted install.wim
Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WindowsMediaPlayer /Source:C:\test\mount\windows /LimitAccess
Note: C:\test\mount\windows is the location you mount the install.wim from installation media

Office 365 crashing on C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\D3D10Warp.dll

Hello experts,
I am having problem with one of our office laptop. The user has an office 365 installed on windows 8.1 pro 64bit. Recently the user is unable to run any of the office 365 any longer . When I looked at the Application log the following had come up :
Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4641.1000, time stamp: 0x53c5c244
Faulting module name: D3D10Warp.dll, version: 6.3.9600.17211, time stamp: 0x539be18f

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\D3D10Warp.dll
Report Id: d2c96856-4db7-11e4-830a-fcf8ae64a9eb
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
The faulting error message appears on all the 365 component. And when I check the most recent windows update the following was installed prior was installed :
KB
2998527
2990967
2989647
2975719
Has anyone got any ideas if any of the KB above may cause the issue or anyone knows of any problem with the D3D10Warp.dll.
Other troubleshooting steps done :
1) Uninstall office 365 using the fix proposed by MS - when trying to run the installer the error message come sup but it continues to install office to completion at the background
2) Running office 365 on win 8 safe boot - same problem
Short of wiping and re-installing windows which I am trying to avoid, does anyone can offer any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

I ran the the Office Config Analyzer
the only warning I get is the add-in being disabled due to performance and stability. The following were addtional add-in added
1) ProAid Writing (which has been uninstalled)
2) endnote (also has been uninstalled)
Still same issue after the add-in are removed.
Answering to your earlier questions :
1) uninstalled and reinstalled Office 365 on the computer - YES several time
2) complete
error message that came up when you run the installer - just a window saying something like ".. has stopped working" and I press the cancel button. The install continued at the background.
3) any
changes to the computer recently - only the regular updates from MS as listed above.
4) Online
Repair of Office 365 - also done but same error message and quits.
Since app log report the faulting at
C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\D3D10Warp.dll
is there a way to find out the version of this and what's the latest version or maybe reinstall the version before, this possibly came through via the updates??

Loss of WiFi and in 'Event: Module' = Path: C:\Windows\System32\IWMSSvc.dll

re: Thinkpad W540 20BG 0016US Win 7 [64] Pro (So called WORKSTATION) - What am I doing wrong?
In my event log:
WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped unexpectedly.
Module Path: C:\Windows\System32\IWMSSvc.dll
Lenovo installed Access Connection (no version number displayed on splash and no 'about'), but digging for the file, says v6.11 in c:\SWTOOLS\readyapps\accon\setup.exe
There is no quick emergency disconnect from the WiFi..... if a web site is malicious and locks you to a script..
I have no idea what is happening. No WiFi lights, No WiFi switch, Software version hidden from the user ..... On my previous Workstation I saw what was happening.
So, any hints from users that resolved this WLAN issue?

Nuke the proprietary internet handlers and let Windows deal with it.

Interactive Services Detection C:\Windows\system32\TSAPPCMP.DLL

I can't find anything on this. I can find a lot dealing with the spoolsv.exe, but nothing on TSAPPCMP.DLL. I am not looking for answers, I am just looking for troubleshooting methods to figure out what is going on. Any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I would like to say that it is just a normal condition. No further action is required.
However, if you want to know details about Interactive Services Detection and event, please refer to the following articles.

Premier Elements 12C:\Windows\system32\DCIMAN32.dll

I made installation of Premier Elements 12, but it won't start. Windows says only there is something wrong "C:\Windows\system32\DCIMAN32.dll"

Here's a common solution.
Try running the System File Checker. Click on Start and type cmd in the "Search programs and files" box. Cmd.exe will appear at the top of the Menu. Rightclick on it and choose "Run as Administrator". Once the Command Prompt opens, type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes and hit Enter. The System File Checker will start. It might take a while to complete so be patient. Reboot when it has completed and let us know if this helped.
