Hi all!
Just starting out on this forum, so I hope you can help me out.
I have a program installed that uses a dll. Recently, I started getting the following error message:
"The application or dll xxxx is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." (xxxx being my dll path and name; message translated from french, but I'm sure you'll recognise it, I've seen the same kind on the forums elsewhere)
My issue is not to replace the dll, I know it's not corrupt, but it is in a weird format, which might explain the message.
However, what I'd like to know is why windows is suddenly so worried about this dll, and if there's anything I can do to simply tell windows to ignore it. At which point does windows decide to check this local dll? (the program is installed locally in it's own folders, nothing in system32 or elsewhere)
Hope you can help me out!
Thanks in advance!
