Hi,
On my Windows Xp PC, every time I open it I receive a window with this message:
"the application or dll c:\windows\system32\wowfx.dll is not a valid
Windows image. Please verify with the installation disk."
I have AVG FREE installed and have performed a scan but still recieve the wowfx.dll message. I also have Smitfraud and have scanned which I was able to do but then I restarted in safemode to do the 'clean' process but it was unable to do the 'clean' because wowfx.dll window message would not go away, so I still keep getting this message On my Windows Xp PC, every time I open it I receive a windows with this message:
"the application or dll c:\windows\system32\wowfx.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please verify with the installation disk."
After reading a number of forums I noticed they all suggest the best way of dealing
with the problem is to post a log.
