My system sh
C:\Windows\system32\wow64.dll is either not designed to run on
windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again
using the original installation media or contact your system
administrator or the software vendor for support.
This message appears when trying to open all programs, internet explorer, windows live, office suite programs etc.
How can I fix this?

I started experiencing the WOW64.DLL error when my Windows updates failed. I spent a total of 9 hours battling this issue as no application or internet browser launched causing more frustration. I finally resolved this issue with the following steps:
Procure a copy of WOW64.DLL located at C:\Windows\System32 from a different Windows 7 PC (I used a friend's PC). Copy it to a USB drive.
Restart your PC in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the boot process).
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32, right-click on Wow64.dll and select Properties.
Within the Wow64.dll Properties window, go to the Security tab and click on Advanced.
Go to the Owner tab and change the Owner to Administrators (the current owner normally would be TrustedInstaller). Alternatively, this can also be achieved using an elevated Command Prompt:
Within the elevated Command Prompt, navigate to C:\Windows\System32
Enter the following command:
TAKEOWN /F WOW64.DLL
You should receive a confirmation message saying "SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "filename" now owned by user "Computer Name\User name"."
Upon success, enter the following command:
ICACLS WOW64.DLL /grant administrators:F
Delete or move your current Wow64.dll to a different folder.
Copy the external copy of Wow64.dll (from step 1 above) to your system's C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Restart your PC normally.
These steps resolved my issue.

Try using opening the command prompt with administrative privileges and run
sfc /scannow
I had the same issue and all of provided instructions did not work. What worked for me is to finish all the updates.
This is an excerpt from this .
Windows Live Media have these four dll'
C:\Windows\System32\ntdll.dll C:\Windows\System32\wow64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\wow64win.dll C:\Windows\System32\wow64cpu.dll
Manually register the dependent .dll files for this error and see if this resolves the issue.
To do this, click the Start ORB / in the Search Line Type Command / Right Click on the Command Prompt from the programs list / Select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
In the command prompt type regsvr32 /s ntdll.dll and hit enter,
then regsvr32 /s wow64.dll and hit enter,
then regsvr32 /s wow64win.dll and hit enter,
then regsvr32 /s wow64cpu.dll and hit enter.
You've not answered whether Windows works normally in Safe Mode. It is recommended you try as @pincopallino suggests to run sfc /scannow while in Safe Mode. After that, try uninstalling Windows Live Essentials and reinstall it.
If you are still having trouble after that, you may want to do a factory recovery to start from a fresh install of Windows.

总会时不时在论坛看到有人发贴问这些问题(加载c:进安全模式用360安全卫士清理垃圾文件
2、关闭启动法
开始菜单→运行→输入“msconfig”→确定→打开系统配置实用→点击”启动”选项卡→在命令里找到含该某某dll那项(或没用启动项)把前边勾去掉然后确定重启计算机
2: HKEY_CURRENT_USER＼Software＼Microsoft＼Windows＼CurrentVersion＼Run
在注册表编辑器中→菜单栏→编辑→查找→输入某某dll→搜索→删除查找到对应项目可能不止个可以直接按f3键查找下个
1你好:****出错找不到指定文件)我利用搜索功能看了上所有回答基本上都差不多所以我整理了下大致归纳为下面这些希望有这种问题朋友在发贴前先看看此贴如果所说这些思路方法还不能解决您问题您可以再发贴寻求帮助谢谢！看看这些对你是否有帮助、注册表法
开始→运行→输入“regedit”→确定→打开注册表编辑器找到以下位置 删除含某某dll相应键值！～～

，请恢复注册表，然后1。
注意，然后回车 2。 注，看看系统有没有问题，以免误操作后及时恢复.exe”在所有登陆项“全部”里查找 “icno。 （【sql1981】原创答案，如果确认。 5，然后再按F3键－删除，如果出现了其它严重问题！）【注意】注册表如果也没找到的话请用下面的方法，直到提示“完成注册表搜索”为止,右键点删除.dll在的文件不管它边上还写没写别的（如.dll”和所有“找不到，然后输入“icno”.dll。恢复的方法是，开始－运行－输入，选择“我的电脑”，然后点击“文件”－“导出”－随便起个名字点“保存”！” 4：结果出来后要看后面的数值部分, 下载安装后运行“autoruns：regedit，找到你刚才保存的文件.dll文件，未通知原作者严禁复制本答案：sql1981，按F3键，都要删除.DLL文件(特别注意)”项目！，然后选择“允许导入”即可，选择“我的电脑”。 3.。这样做的目的是备份一下注册表，重新启动计算机，只要有icno，找到后一定要核对是不是icno，load），双击它！ 下载AUTORUNS(启动项目查看器)，不能光看文件名称：icno，点击“查找下一个”开始－－运行－－msconfig－－启动－－找到和你说的类似的选项icno－－取消勾－－确定，引用请说明原作者，对该项点“右键”选“删除”
