Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008iexplore.exe - Bad Image
Lately, whenever I try to bring up IE7, a window pops up titled "iexplore.exe - Bad Image" The message inside the box says "C:\Windows\AppPatch\iebrshim.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains and error..... If I click on the OK button IE will open but does not bring up my home page until after about 1 1/2 minutes has elapsed. After that it appears to work normally. Any thoughts on how I can fix this Bad Image problem? I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium with all of the important updates, but not the recommended or optional ones. The error is related to Flash Player, not IE or Windows.

I went to the thread you indicated and performed the following operations: 1) I don't have Windows update #939653 installed, nor is it in the list of hidden updates. 2) I reset IE settings 3) I uninstalled/reinstalled Flash Player v9.0.124.0 None of the above solved the bad image problem, but in looking at the iebrshim.dll file with Windows Explorer I notice that the file size is 0 bytes and the version number is blank. This can't be good. How do I get an updated version of the file? > The error is related to Flash Player, not IE or Windows.

That's an older IE update referenced in an outdated thread: Is KB950759 installed? If so, when was it installed and did this behavior first start after it was installed? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Are you presently running Vista or Vista SP1? Did you upgrade to Vista from, e.g., WinXP? >>> ...If I click on the OK button IE will open but >>> does not bring up my home page until after about 1 1/2 minutes has >>> elapsed.

If you close all IE windows and DELETE C:\Windows\AppPatch\iebrshim.dll <=this file, and then open IE to your usual home page, does the behavior persist? Signature~PA Bear > I went to the thread you indicated and performed the following operations: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >>> the >>> important updates, but not the recommended or optional ones. I tried deleting the iebrshim.dll file but the system would not do it even after I gave permission to do so. It just keeps asking me to try again. KB950759 was installed on 6/11/08 which was about the time I started having this problem, so I uninstalled it and restarted the computer. The iebrshim.dll file is now 52 KB and shows a version number of 6.0.6000.16643. I no longer get the Bad Image error message when starting Internet Explorer and the browser seems to work okay again. Thank you so much for your interest and help. > > I don't have Windows update #939653 installed, nor is it in the list of > > hidden updates.

Your computer remains vulnerable to several exploits without KB950759 installed. Please answer the rest of my questions. Repost: >> What anti-virus application or security suite is installed?

I'm running Vista SP1 and it is NOT an upgrade from a previous version of windows. My IE home page is yahoo.com, but the problem persisted even when I changed it to a blank home page. My virus/firewall software is McAfee Security Center provided through Comcast. In addition to Defender, I'm running Spyware Doctor and Registry Mechanic from PC Tools. I've temporarily made KB950759 a hidden update until this issue is resolved. > YW, but we're not done yet! Your computer remains vulnerable to several > exploits without KB950759 installed.
