Can anyone help me with my computer issue. I have a Windows Vista computer and am getting error messages on boot of the pc and when opening every program.

Error:

c:\Progra~2\jedubaji.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using hte original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

On the top right hand corner of the error shows multiple different Bad image errors after pressing okay multiple times.

ie4uinit.exe - Bad image (then the above error for each of these)
rundll32.exe - Bad image
AtBroker.exe
SkyTel.exe
Dwm.exe
explorer.exe
Spmgr.exe
OSK.exe
SynTPEnh.exe
ISBMgr.exe
AppMonUtility.exe
IAAnotif.exe
HpqSRmon.exe
LaunchVHSD.exe
hpwuSchd2.exe
Reminderapp.exe
RtHDVCpl.exe
VCAB.exe
Vista VAIO Survey.exe


I have looked on other Vista machines and do not find a jedubaji.dll file on them. I've seen like error messages before and just copied from one pc to the other and fixed it but do not see this .dll file. I have also run a virus scan on the computer with no luck. Thanks.

As reported by , the same “Bad Image” dialog referencing c:\Progra~2\jedubaji.dll for many core processes looks like an autostarted DLL that Windows can’t load (either incompatible/corrupt or malicious). Progra~2 is the 8.3 short-name form that commonly maps to a Program Files folder on many systems; the “Bad Image” text is the OS telling that a DLL failed to load and is often caused by a bad/mismatched DLL or damaged system files. (learn.microsoft.com)

Suggested triage (in order, do not delete files or overwrite system files yet):

  • Isolate the machine from networks if data/theft is a concern.

  • Locate the file and record its exact path and timestamp; on the machine run:

    dir /x C:\
dir /s /b *jedubaji.dll*

    If the file exists, note publisher/file properties and a hash before taking action. Do not copy an unknown DLL from another PC — that can introduce incompatible code or malware. Next, run system-integrity checks:

    sfc /scannow

    Also run a full modern anti-malware scan (in normal mode first) and/or an offline bootable scan if malware is suspected. Recommended tools: Malwarebytes for an in‑Windows second-opinion scan and a vendor boot-rescue disk for an offline sweep. (malwarebytes.com)

If the DLL is referenced from startup points, collect and remove those persistence entries (do not remove the file until quarantined/backed up). Use Autoruns to enumerate and disable/delete suspicious autorun entries (hide Microsoft entries first), then collect logs (Autoruns/FRST or HijackThis output) for helpers; ’s suggestion to get HJT/advanced-log help is reasonable once logs are available. If SFC/DISM can’t repair many system files, plan a repair install or clean install after a full backup. (docs.microsoft.com)

(Prepare the Autoruns/FRST logs and a short inventory of exactly where jedubaji.dll is found before posting — that will let volunteers advise safe removal steps rather than blind deletion.)

Here is what I found on that particular DLL;

I suggest you start a new thread here;

Wait patiently for HJT Advisor to help you.
Also do the Read Me's before posting.
