    Need help with corrupt system file messages on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
    Hello people

    I dont know whether this is the correct forum to post this thread .Please guide me but recently had to face this error pop-up on screen message when i try to access Device Manager or when i type msconfig in the start up window box :


    msconfig.exe-Bad Image

    C:/Windowssystem32/ODBC32.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error .Try installing the program again using the original installation media
    or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

    I guess its harmful web sites .But now its not even letting me access normal applications on windows 7 like device manager .. I even have the sfcdetails.txt file to share that information . Can any one please help me ?.

    I would recommend you to use AlienRespawn. Take it back to factory settings.
