Hey friends I have a problem with my PC. Some of my softwares and games gives this message when I execute them. And no the software or game are fine because they work fine in my all friend's PC. Its just my PC's problem. Sometimes even my ATI display driver gives the same error when I try to open the catalyst center. When this problem no matter what I do but this problem just don't go away and then my only solution is to reinstall windows but now some of my batch files gives the same error and some applications even on a completely clean windows with nothing installed not even drivers. I tried it on both Windows XP Professional SP2, SP3 & Windows 7 Ultimate but the problem still exist. Hell I can't even understand what does this error message means. Please Help me or atleast tell me the meaning of this message. Is it a hardware problem or what because even on completely clean windows this error exist so I doubt it as a hardware problem but don't know which part.Other things and applications works perfectly but some of my favorite games and softwares don't and its most annoying when it comes on my display driver. Please friends HELP ME.

Code: 
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application

0xc000007b is probably the NT_STATUS code STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT meaning that some DLL or a .exe is corrupted in your Disk. Try installing from some other source.
You said that you get this prob in some selected programs even when you run them in newly installed OS from their previous install locations. That, makes no diffrence. If .exe/.dll is corrupted, it wont run in any OS (old or new).
It may be a maware/virus issue. Its better to make a hijackthis log (google it) of your computer and post it on hijackthis.de and see the result. Remove all those applications you see are a threat or malicous. Install Kaspersky trial and update it and scan your computer, i had the same prob and it was a malware, i scanned it with Avast 4.8 updated and the prb was solved.
