I receive a "bad image" message anytime I open an application.

The error message I receive is below. Can you please tell me why I am receiving this message?
Message:
illustrator: Illustrator.exe - Bad Image
C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeCreativeCloud\CoreSyncExtension\CoreSync_x64.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.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system information. Typically this error occurs when virus scanners interfere or damage files.

POWER GLITCHES MAY HAVE CAUSED BAD IMAGE MESSAGE FOR NIMAXCFG.DLL... HOW CAN I FIX IT?

bad weather in the midwest caused power glitches.
computer running win 2000 with LabView 7.x now reports "Bad Image" message for NIDACQCFG.dll.
looking for suggestions on how to fix the problem...
i am trouble-shooting remotely in another state.

Your title says NIMAXCFG.dll, but your subject says NIDACQCFG.dll (though I think you meant NIDAQCFG.dll), so I'm not sure which one you're referring to, or whether you're referring to both. The second DLL would be from DAQ, though I'm not sure if it comes from Traditional DAQ or DAQmx. Which one do you have installed? You'd likely need to reinstall it.

When I try and open a word document I received the following message: "You cant open the application Microsoft Word because PoerPC applications are no longer supported". What is up with that?

Here is a post that I assembled for a similar question:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions, or find alternative software that will open your data files;
3. Install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels:

Full Snow Leopard installation instructions here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
NOTE: STEP ONE of the instructions must currently be completed on a Snow Leopard or Lion Mac and the resulting modified Snow Leopard.cdr install file can then be moved over to your Mountain Lion Mac for completion of the remaining steps.
NOTE 2: Computer games with complex, 3D or fast motion graphics make not work well or at all in virtualization.

Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Hi,
restore the system from a ghost image not containing microsoft office. The XP pro image has all of the updates to microsoft xp pro.
Update to office pro 2007 and add patches. This was our solution no more dll errros when running the sbs audit tools.
The cause of the dll error , just update an office 2007 to office 2010 and add the office patches.
This caused the dll errors on all of our desktops and laptops while running the sbs audit tools. We found in all cases the update of office 2007 would generate the errors on our setups.
Just to make sure this was the cause we installed office 2007 and updated to 2010 xp pro and added all patches on our ghost image.
Inserted the sbs tool audit cd and tried to save a ms word tech or business audit and the dll file not found appears and unable to run other ms office products.
We also tried to uninstall office 2007 and update to 2010 but the dll error still appears. The ghost image works if installing office 2010 without an office 2007 install
my suggstion would be to never update a office 2007 but run office 2010 since its a much better product.
This also improves on performance if you never update office 2007 , this helps more than anything.
Regards,
Harry

�Is Sun System Instant Messaging a Multiplatform Open Source Application?

This Because I am searching a highly Compatible Open Source WEB Enable Client/Server Application or a robust Multiplaform Instant Messaging System for Academic Purposes.
I searching to obtain a WEB Enable Instant Messaging Application Open Source in Java like MSN Messenger Client/Server for Academic Purposes?
I find Jabber as an alternative Instant Messaging solution but the clients and servers Applications there aren't highly compatibles.
I thank in advance for their valuable time. And for the attention and the collaboration lent me.

I believe there are currently two open source J2EE 1.3 compliant appservers:
JOnAs http://jonas.objectweb.org/
JBoss http://www.jboss.org/
Both have beta versions of their J2EE 1.4 offers. If what you are looking for is not actually open source but simply free as in beer, then Sun's appserver is a rather attractive option. It's already J2EE 1.4 certified because it is the J2EE 1.4 reference implementation. You can download it as part of the J2EE SDK from here http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download-sdk.html

PSE 8 Organizer 'Bad Image' Error Message

I have PSE 8, PS Premier 8 and LR 4 insta;lled and haven't had any problems with them. Yesterday I tried to open PSE 8 and received a 'Bad Image' message that stated
"C\:Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements Organizer 8.0\amtlib.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.'
However, I went to My Pictures, selected a file that I had edited in PSE 8 a few weks ago, right clicked on Open With PSE 8 Editor and there it was. When I right clicked on Open With PSE 8 Organizer, I got the same error message as shown above. I also tried openiong Organmizer through Editor ald also got the same error shown above.
How do I resolve this? I'm running WIN 7 Pro, DELL XPS 8300.

Here is an update and a workaround. I hope it's helpful to others as well.
After receiving lots of views, but not receiving any suggestions, I decided to uninstall PSE 8, but kept getting an ERROR 1316 message. After additional searching I found MicrosoftFixIt, a free download that enabled me to uninstall PSE 8 and Premier Elements 8, where I had encountered the identical amtlib.dll BAD IMAGE error message described in my initial post.
I then reinstalled both programs, and now everything is fine.

HT203175 I cannot remove iTunes Helper .exe- Bad Image warning from my PC when it opens. Can someone help a luddite?

I receive an error message each time I start my PC. I get the I Tunes Helper.exe- Bad Image message and need to click 5 times before it goes away. I was trying to sync my I Phone with OUtlook and something happened. I am not tech-savvy.

Many thanks.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Mobile Device Support file there.
Let's try something relatively simple first.
Restart the PC. After you've fought your way through the error messages, go into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Mobile Device Support", and click "Repair".
Does the repair install seem to go through okay? If so, restart the PC again. Have the error messages from iTunesHelper.exe stopped?

Bad Parameter message after Extract Pages command

I am trying to extract the first 8 pages of a 128 page document using Acrobat X in Windows 7, and every time I click on Extract I receive a Bad Parameter message. Everything else seems to be working properly with the file.
Can someone please help

Hi Doug,
Please let me know whether the PDF is created using Acrobat or any other tool.
Also, check whether the document is protected.
Hope to get your response.

Newdev.exe Bad Image

I finally got my new iPad 2 (Wi-Fi) and haven't been able to get it to work. When I originally upgrade to iTunes 10.2, it told me there was some kind of communication error and I wouldn't be able to communicate with iPods or iPhones. I eventually uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. I'm on Vista 64 bit, so downloaded that version.
Now when I plug in my iPad is tried to load the necessary drivers, but gives me a newdev.exe - Bad Image message. The rest of the test is:
c:\windows\system32\wpd_ci.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installed in the program again using the original installation media or contact your system admin or the software vendor for support.
When I click OK, I get a Device installation error. A couple of times it's said it found new hardware and asked me to insert the CD that came with my iPad (which there isn't).
After waiting months to get this, I'd really like to get it up and running. Any advice? Thanks in advance...

Good gracious. Hadn't seen that one before. But since wpi_ci.dll is your Driver Setup Class Installer for portable devices, it's not too surprising that trouble with it might manifest in this way.
It's a Windows operating system file, so an sfc /scannow is worth a try, as per the following document:
How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7

I am receiving "Blocked Plug-In" message. Running Safari Version 5.1.10 on MAC OS X 10.6.8. Updated Flash Plater, but problem persists.

I am receiving "Blocked Plug-In" message when I open webpages through Safari. I am running Safari Version 5.1.10 on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I updated Flash Player, cleaned out Cookies and restarted, but problem persists.

When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:

Image Capture Won't Open

Whenever I try to open Image Capture I get the following message: You cannot open the application "Image Capture" because it may be damaged or incomplete.
Any idea where I can download the program? I just checked my most recent backup and it has the same problem. The icon has changed to the generic application program instead of the camera icon.
Thank for any assistance you can provide.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try deleting this file. com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac and try and launch Image Capture.
If that doesn't work you can reinstall the Image Capture application from your install disk.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the package that installs bundled software or additional software. A package has an icon that looks like an opened box.
Follow the onscreen instructions. If you see a pane with a Customize button, click Customize and select the application you want to install. If you see a pane that lets you choose what to install, click the disclosure triangle beside Applications and select the application you want to install.
If you can’t find the application you’re looking for, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. Your documents and user settings will remain.
Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon. In the pane where you select the destination disk, select your current Mac OS X disk, and click Options. Select “Archive and Install” and “Preserve Users and Network Settings.”
