Windows Error / Bad Image - wbemcomn.dll

I'm getting this error message each time I open itunes:
Quick Time Handler Window: iTunes.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\WINDOWS\System32\wbem\wbemcomn.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Does anyone know what this is and how to avoid getting it each time?

Hi,
Can you perform SFC command during Windows Recovery environment? Since I notice you see a report about the gdiplus.dll file.

LogonUI.exe bad image - authui.dll error. Cant system restore or restore to factory settings

Hi,
My notebook which is a HP pavilion dm4 beats edition computer which runs WIndows 7 home premium, was just bought 2 months and I've been using it just for 2 months.
Yesterday morning it was working fine, and I didnt download any new software or do any changes but in the evening when i turned it on,
after the 'starting windows' screen, it was this error message
LogonUI.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\authui.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 the software vendor for support.
I tried safe mode, it goes back to the same error screen.
When i try pressing f8 and go to 'last known good configuration' it goes to the error screen as well.
I tried pressing f8 and going to HP recovery manager and selecting system restore but it says no system restore points have been created, when I try to create one or go forward, it says the computer is running in a limited state and its not possible.
The option 'restore to factory settings' can not be selected, I dont know why. The cursor does not change colour of the option when it goes above it, and that option cant be selected.
My recovery partition is there and I have not done any adjustments to it.
The only thing that opens is a command prompt window, could you assist me on how to restore to factory settings through this? Because typing rstui.exe brings the same message saying no restore points have been created.

I cant chose system recovery, the option cant be selected.
When I can go onto command prompt after going to 'advanced boot options' but then typing sfc /scannow says the computer needs a reboot, once you reboot, its just the same thing.
Normally starting windows or starting windows in safe mode gives the LogoUI.exe bad image error just before when I would normally scan my fingerprint or enter the password.
I tried putting in a windows cd, but it wont let it 'repair the computer' but trying to reinstall windows, no hard disks are visible. Its like I dont have a hard drive.
But you can go to command prompt and go into dir you can view all my files. But just searching for C, it says directory of C was not found.
Its just really strange because the laptop worked fine in the morning, and in the evening, as soon as I turned it on, it was just this black screen and an error msg

TS1717 Getting two error messages when trying to access I Tunes on my Windows 7 Computer: Windows Error 126 and MSVCR80.dll not found

Having difficulty accessing I Tunes on my Windows 7 Vista.
Error messages are two fold:
1. MSVCR80.dll not found. Reinstall may help correct prob.
2. Windows Error 126.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

Apple Sync Notifier.exe Bad Image icuin36.dll

I get a Popup at Startup Saying "The Application or DLL C/Windows?System32/icuin36.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
The problem started when I upgraded Itunes from 9 to 10. I reinstalled and still the problem is still there.The first popup(corefoundation.dll) I got I solved by downloading the file into the System 32 folder.I downloaded this file and it gives me this message.Thanks ........Jim

Shift the two dlls out of your system32 folder, Jim. Apple Application Support Installers don't know they're there, and that can lead to you getting trouble after an update if the dlls have been updated since then, and iTunes/QuickTime/Safari/Mobile need the newer version of the dll.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel. Does that clean up the AppleSyncNotifier.exe messages?

Photoshop CS5 Error - Bad Image

I am getting the following error on our machines in a computer lab. We are using Windows 7 Professional.

That message is from the OS, and is informing you that one of your OS DLLs is damaged or incorrectly installed.
The message has nothing to do with Photoshop.

ERROR 7 (Windows Error 126) and MSVCR80.dll missing. HERE IS THE SOLUTION!

Read the instructions very carefully and follow the steps exactly as shown: http://http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 "Removing and reinstalling itunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8".
After completing STEP 2, you may still find a couple of applications (icloud & mobile). You may only see the "change" option. If so, click on "change", it will prompt you to the uninstall option. Click on "uninstall" and the applications will be removed.
Tip: You may still find a shortcut and a file called itunes64setup on your desktop. DO NOT DELETE THEM.
Restart your PC as indicated in STEP 3, and reinstall you itunes. You´ll have it alive again!
Tip: make sure you're running the latest Windows updates.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series - error message -Bad image windows\system 32\d3d 10 warp.dll

I use the HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series printer with my laptop and a desktop PC. It works fine with the laptop but when I installed the software onto the desktop the window error message Bad Image Windows\ System 32\d3d 10 warp.dll kept popping up every few minutesd. By a process of ilimination I discovered that it was the Photo Creations that was causing the problems, when I removed it all was good and I was able to use the printer. The only problems is that I now cannot print photos from my pc. I have windows 7.
Can anyone help please?

Hi Chris.
That error message comes from Direct3D, which is part of the DirectX software in Windows. It appears that part of the DirectX environment on your computer is corrupt. Microsoft provides a diagnostic tool that should help you sort this out. Please see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/run-directx-diagnostic-tool
If that does not solve the issue, you may want to reinstall the device driver for your graphics adapter.
When all's running smoothly, you can reinstall HP Photo Creations to print again. Our customer support team would be happy to help with the reinstallation. You can reach them at www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/support-form.html
Hope this helps,

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?

Whenever i try to open iTunes i encounter the messages "The application or DLL.....is not a valid windows image. Please check this against you installation diskette." and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 windows error

I cant open my itunes at all, keep getting two errors about application or DLL being a bad image, and about how i need to reinstall iTunes because of itunes error 7 and windows error 193, please help!! Ive already un-installed and re-installed itunes many times to no prevail

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop. 
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. 
Don't remove personal data when uninstalling. 
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling. 
 
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Cannot connect to iTunes Bad Image Error iTunes Mobile Device dll

Help!!
ITunes exe - Bad Image
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\MobileDeviceSupport\iTunesMobileDevice.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."
Can anyone help me please!??

If we take the error message at face value, you've got a damaged Apple Mobile Device Support program file there, carmelle.
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select Apple Mobile Device Support, and click "Repair".
Does that fix up the error message for you?

Bad Image error - igdumdim32.dll

Somehow igdumdim32.dll got onto my Windows 7 system. From what I can find, this is a Windows 8 dll. Keep getting error message: "C:\windows\system32\igdumdim32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error....." Very irritating and does disrupt some functionality. What do I do?
Let me describe the problem as completely as possible.
The "error" message reads: "C:\Windows\system32\igdumdim32.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...."
The "error" message occurs in several instances. It occurs when I attempt to open a video on Foxfire. It comes entitled "FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_223.exe - Bad Image." When I click OK, the message reappears. It appears 3 times in total and after I’ve clicked OK each time the video will run properly, except it will not go to full screen. This does not happen with Internet Explorer. The same message occurs when opening certain programs such as: Quicken (entitled qw.exe - Bad Image), QuickTime Player (entitled QuickTimePlayer.exe - Bad Image), Garmin Express (entitled Express.exe - bad image) and others. In all cases the message come up 3 times and once I've clicked OK to all the program runs normally.
I've tried to find igdumdim32 in windows\system32 but it's not there. There is a igdumdim64 there. However, I have found it in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\5.inf_a….etc. It is also in C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Just in case someone else is viewing this, I finally fixed this problem. If you are reading this, that probably means you have the same problem. There a tens of this "Bad Image" error Posts in this forum and in the Microsoft forum.
I believe that "Image" is the clue here, but it took me a very long time to figure that out.
Via a very circuitous route I ended up at the Intel support site (a friend suggested this). There you can download a drive update utility, which I did. When it was run, it informed me that it thought I have a vendor customized Graphics driver and (thank you very much) I should be careful about downloading a new driver from them. Therefore I did not. However, that indicated to me that there could be a Graphics Driver problem.
I then recalled that in my many and various travels across the internet reading something about a "Recovery Manager" that HP installs in the product (again, thank you very much). HP customer support has a set of instructions on how to use the tool on their website: (Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
I ran the Manager and replaced the Intel Graphics Drive. Problem solved.
I hope that this may be of help to others.

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.
