Stop:c0000221 Bad image checksum

Have HP Media Center PC m7060n. Worked fine last night, turned on this morning and got a blue screen saying "Stop: c0000221 Bad image checksum; the image Normaliz.dll is possibly corrupt. the header checksum does not match the computed checksum". What does this mean? The only way to get out of it is to turn it off. My main concern at this point is can I get my photos and documents?

Remove all but a single stick of memory (in the slot closest to the CPU) and try booting up normally. Try each memory module.
If that fails then procede to the following.
Have you tried to boot it up in safe mode?
Start tapping the F8 key as soon as you push the power button.
If you are able to boot into Safe mode you have a few options.
1) There is system restore available.
2) from a command line type sfc /scannow to let the system file checker replace any corrupt system files.

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?

Itunes.exe bad image error

I have been trying to get iTunes up and running for months now with no luck what so ever. I'm running on Windows Vista Service Pack 2.
On opening iTunes I get the error message
'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." '
After clicking Ok a window appears saying itunes has stopped working and that its trying to find a solution. only button is 'close program'. After closing the program a message appears in the bottom right of the screen saying DEP (Data Execution Protection) has closed itunes to protect my computer.
As well as this problem I have been unable to perform a windows update. It has been giving various error codes which I tried to fix using the windows Fixit programs and other fixes but both problems persisted.
I looked thorugh a lot of discussions on different forums online and have tried various things but to no avail. At first I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it (I have now done this around twenty times after trying different fixes) and it downloaded and installed perfectly every time but whenever I tried opeing it I would get the bad image error message.
I have also tried running system file checker (sfc scan) by running command prompt as administrator and it says
'Beggining system scan. This may take some time.
There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. restart windows and run sfc again.'
But when I restart windows and run sfc again it gives exaclty the same message. I repeated this on numerous occasions after trying other fixes but always gave the same message.
I also read that replacing the softpub.dll file in the system32 file could be a fix, so I downloaded a new file but when I tried to either rename the old one, move it or do a move and replce with the new file I was told that I couldn't because it needed the administrators permission. I am the only user and was logged in with administrators rights so don't know why it asked and when I tried to give permission it says
' Destination Folder Acces Denied
You need permission to perform this action.'
It gives the option to retry but this just produces the same message.
Any help would be massively appreciated.

Did a restart and there are a few errors and warning listed below,

and could any1 give advise on good 6gb AMD RAM?
Such combination is not recommended in AMD systems as you must use 2x2GB and 2x1GB memory stick to obtain it.
Which is not good idea[mixing memory sticks]
For best results and optimal performance, use 2x matched memory sticks only.

I really dont know what to do?
Go to reseller to sort for you.
Let him try with different memory sticks{AMD Tested}.
The message may gone by itself, often such fake message can come from bad or not compatible memory stick.
Quote from: Hans on 08-October-09, 01:14:27
Make sure to change the extension to .ROM.
Nope, system is expecting original file name A7577AMS.200 as Bas mention as well.
Quote from: Hans on 08-October-09, 01:26:19
Ah, I see. Thought it needed a .ROM, but I'm obviously wrong.
But if we already knew this, what's this whole topic about then?
Get the file on a stick and make it recover. Can't be that hard... ???
Quote

I would suggest to try with AMD regular memory stick 1st before attempt any BIOS recovery.
Else he really can kill his board, while attempt to recover healthy BIOS{Too possible to be memory error and not BIOS failure
[bad|not compatible memory stick can produce the same fake message.]
Also BIOS hardly can corrupt to this stage by itself, he tell never touched the BIOS:

"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.''

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.

Lightroom 4 suddenly stopped importing most images

Hi All,
I am using an up-to-date version of Lightroom 4.2 on Mac OSX v10.7.5 with 16 GB DDR3 RAM, a 2.93 GHz processor, and about 250 GB free space on my hard drive. I shoot RAW files with a Canon, and always set my import to convert to DNG.
I have been using LR since version 1, and I've never had trouble importing. Two days ago, however, Lightroom stopped importing my images. As I often do with big shoots, I began the import process before heading to bed; when I checked the status in the morning, the screen still read "Importing files..." with no images actually imported. I tried it again immediately, same result. I shut everything down, rebooted the machine, and tried again... same thing.
My process in detail: Connect my camera to my iMac via USB... open import dialogue... check images to import... hit "import." I then get the "Importing files..." message in the middle of the screen, plus the "Convert to Digital Negative and Import" message in the upper left, with the progress bar showing 1/3 filled. Nothing changes from this point, even after 60 minutes. So I click the "X" box in the upper left to end the import. After that, the "Import.." button in the lower left is grayed out, and I cannot try to initiate another import. Hmmm. So I close Lightroom and try again. That's the cycle I'm experiencing.
After repeatedly trying to import about 400-500 images here, I decided to just try a few. I made a few attempts, and eventually I was able to bring 4-5 images in. That gave me hope, but the next time I tried, no luck. So I began trying all sorts of combinations... rebooting LR, turning off the camera, then restarting everything again. Out of maybe 25 attempts, I was able to pull images in 4 times. Strange and seemingly random.
Any advice for out there? Should I try reinstalling Lightroom? Would appreciate any tips or solutions.
Thanks,
Nick

Is this a camera that has worked previously, or a new model?
Also - how are you importing? Via USB cable from the camera or using a card reader?

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.)

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.
