Application-Termination Messages

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 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. The following example implies that you should make sure that the dynamic-link library is in the path before you restart the application:


The dynamic-link library <filename> could not be found in the specific path <path>

In yet other cases, you can only restart the application. If one of the messages listed in Table 38.4 reappears, contact the supplier of the application.
