Over the weekend I was trying to run some applications when my computer blue screened adn rebooted.

Now when it came to booting up the programme again (it was COD4) using the autoplay I got an error message. Exactly the same happened with MSN Messenger.
I also get it when I try to access the Control panel.

The error message box title says - msnmsgr.exe Bad image

The contents of the box reads - c:\Windows\system 32\ieframe.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try install the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

When I go too look at the .DLL file in question it says its size is 0 bytes. I have tried to put a DLL downloaded from the internet in to replace it but I cant write to the system 32 part of the Windows folder.

Any ideas as to how to fix this - as it only happend after the BSOD. With it I cant boot up IE7 either.

I cant reinstall IE 7 (as it is part of that installation) since I am using Vista.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

boot from your windows xp cd.

go into the recovery console

and copy ieframe.dll from c:\windows\system32\dllcache

to c:\windows\system32

see if that helps

1. Click the Start button, and then type CMD in the Start Search box.
2. Right-click CMD in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.

If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue

3. At the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:
SFC /SCANNOW

It may ask you for your Vista CD, so have it handy. That should restore all of your system files and solve your issue.

1) I cant use system restore as I have it turned off to recover disc space

2) Looked in my Vista disc (not XP) and I cant find any file named ieframe.dll

3) I have tried your suggestion but when it gets to 22% it says the following:- Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.
Thank you for your help but any ideas what might be causing this, or should I run this from my Vista disc do you think?

Ok, your next option is to try an In Place upgrade of Vista. Boot from the CD and do a reinstall, it SHOULD leave your data intact and repair/replace the windows system files.

by robo_dev

therefore you would have to extract the file you need from the compressed file.

by lynx2040

I cant do that since when I get to that screen Upgrade is grayed out.

The only way I can put Vista back in is to do it completely.

Any other options?

ok I followed the instructions but how do i extract the compressed ieframe.dll so that I can then put it into the system32 folder?

I have found on my disc an ieframe-dl.man - that cant be what I want? Do you have any idea WHERE on the disc it might be?
