Application-termination messages from the Executive appear when the Kernel is about to terminate either the process in which an application is running or the thread of an application. Some of these messages will advise you to perform an action before restarting the application, as in the following example:
The application or DLL <filename> is not a valid Windows NT image. Please check this against your installation disk.
In other cases, the user action is strongly implied, as in the following example:
The dynamic link library <filename> could not be found in the specific path <path>
This example implies that you should make sure that the DLL is in the path before you restart the application.
In yet other cases, you can only restart the application. If one of the following messages reappears, contact the supplier of the application.
