error with image.dll

[Guest]

When I log in I get a box that says "RunDLL." Then it says error loading c:\WINDOWS\image.dll. What does that mean and how can I fix it? Did I accidently uninstall it? Is it possibly related to that fact that I can't open my (E drive using windows media wizard? Please help.

Delete the value:
