Recently my PC (Quad Core Q9450 2.66 GHz, 4 GB, XP Pro SP2) has been suddenly locking up. I often get a message
"The application or DLL
C:\WINDOWS\AppPatch\AcGenral.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check against your installation diskette."
BTW, the last sentence seems to date the message as written decades ago!
Can anyone shed any light on this please? And what I should do about it?
FWIW, I found another copy of AcGenral.dll and it was identical.
Also, I usually get another message when trying to display the Task Manager, so that I can re-boot:
"Taskmgr.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initiate properly (0xc000012d)"
I'm then forced to power down or use the reset button.
