Whenever I try to download a game I receive the following:
The application or DLL C:\windows\system32\DCIMAN32.dll is not a valid
image. Please check this against your installation diskette. HELP!!

You might try running dxdiag.exe to see if any problems are detected. This
DLL is part of Display Control Interface management.

You can also try from the 'Run' box

sfc /scannow



Failing that you can expand a new copy of the DLL from your Windows XP
install CD-Rom

From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;

expand E:\I386\DCIMAN32.DL_ %windir%\system32\DCIMAN32.DLL
would expand a new copy to the \system32 directory.

Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.

To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\XPSP2\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
