regedit.exe-bad image.

Ignore Andrew.

ulib.dll is the File Utilities Support DLL. I think that it only loads when
you use Find (F3) in regedit.exe.

How are you trying to open regedit.exe?

This way?
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK

If a regedit.com exists on your machine, you will get an error if you do not
type the the .exe extension.

Regedit.com is created by malware.

Have you tried these?

Start | Run | Type or paste: regedit.exe | Click OK

Start | Run | Type or paste:
%systemroot%\regedit.exe
Click OK

Start | Run | Type or paste: %systemroot% | Click OK |
Then scroll down to and double click on regedit.exe
--------

1. Scan for malware. See below.

2. Run sfc.exe. See below.

3. Not a valid win32 application

2. System File Checker (sfc.exe) replaces screwed up system files.

Load your XP CD in your CD drive.

Start | Run | Type or paste: sfc /scannow | Click OK

sfc /scannow scans all protected system files immediately and replaces
incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

System File Checker takes a while to run.

If you have XP Home and it asks for your XP Pro CD, see this KB article...

You may be prompted to insert a Windows XP Professional CD when you run the
System File Checker tool in Windows XP Home Edition

If SFC.EXE did anything it will be listed in the Event Viewer.

Open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK | Click System |

Windows File Protection will be listed under the Source column. Look at any
Windows File Protection entries.

HOW TO Verify That Windows File Protection Is Running

-------

1. UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.
