Bad Image Errors

[RDU]

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate. Quite out of the blue, probably as a
result of something I've done (!) I'm receiving Bad Image errors on two
programs, Network Magic & IE7. The thing is the programs work fine after
clicking OK on the error dialogs.

For Network Magic, I receive the following error dialog:
Network Magic Notification: nmapp.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\system32\inetres.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or
it contains an error. Try installing the program again...

For IE7:
iexplore.exe - Bad Image
C:\Windows\AppPatch\AcRedir.DLL is either not designed...

Concurrent with these errors I'm also getting the infamous "Red X" & am
unable to open hyperlinks with Outlook 2007.

Ideas? Thanks.

Uninstall all versions of Adobe (Acrobat) Reader and then either install the
newest version from Adobe or install Foxit:

Frank--
Thanks for the suggestion but I do not have Reader installed. I do have
Acrobat 7.0 Standard installed, but I had no issues previously (for over a
week) after upgrading to Vista & running 7.0 concurrently.
