Bad Image - WSOCK32.dll Error
Hello Everyone,
I just restarted my computer becuase I uninstalled a piece of software. Now whenever I try to launch applications other than native Microsoft ones I get a 'Bad Image' error. It says:
C:\Windows\system32\WSOCK32.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.
Need help ASAP!

Run sfc /scannow and check again.
If this does not help, I recommend restoring your system state using a restore point that dates before the appearance of your problem and contacting your software vendor Technical Support.

Hi,
You may also consider to copy one from a working computer with the same operating system installed to replace the corrupted one.
