Vista - Millions of errors in 1 go

mrbenjamin · 08-02-2009, 09:42 AM

hello all

My mum has a ACER aspire 8370G with windows vista home premium.

on sat morning it was all working perfectly fine was left on and it went into hibernation. i turned it on earlyer today and it restarted from fresh and as soon as the logon screen was about to show i got a message

winlogon.exe - Bad image
C:\windows\system32\windowscodecs.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains errors.

i press ok and it loads up logon screen as normal i sign in and i get more errors 1st -

Windows - Bad Image
Exception processing message oxc000007b parameters 0x759092A0 0x759092A0 0x759092A0 0x759092A0

2nd -

dwm.exe - unable to locate component

3rd - MSASCUI.exe - unable to locate component

And it does this same error for lots of exe files like google desktop and they all say because WININET.dll was not found ad some say because urlmon.dll was not found

most programs wont load even windows programs like MSconfig wont even load. i tryed in safe mode and get all the same errors and there is no system restore points when there should be some as it is turned on.

we have not installed anything in ages on the laptop and has been working fine. its protected by NOD32 antivirus and has spybot installed

Hope you can help

Perform a Vista System Restore - choose a restore point prior to the trouble beginning -
START | type rstrui - choose restore point

mrbenjamin · 08-02-2009, 12:50 PM

i cant do a system restore because the only point that shows is one from today and that doesnt fix it. there are no more restore points.

Bring up an administrative cmd/DOS prompt -
START | type cmd | RIGHT-click on cmd.exe above under programs - then type -

Code:

sfc /scannow

Use your Vista DVD to boot the system and perform a System Repair.
