Sometimes while working on my Windows 7 computer, the error message "C:\windows\system32\webio.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error" is displayed. Can someone tell why this error is occurring?

When exactly do you get the error? Did you make any software/hardware changes to the computer?

Please try these steps to resolve the issue:

a) Boot into safe mode with networking:
• Turn the system on.
• On the OEM logo, keep tapping the F8 key.
• When you get to the Windows Advanced Options Menu, chose Safe Mode with Networking using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
• Press enter if you are prompted to select the Operating System.
• Login using your user name and password
• Check if you are getting the same error
b) If you are not getting the error, do a clean boot:
• Click on Start
• Click on run
• Type msconfig and hit enter
• On the System Configuration window, click on the startup tab
• Click on disable all at the bottom right
• Now click on the services tab on the top
• Ensure that you have a check mark in the box “Hide All Microsoft Services”.
• Click on disable all at the bottom right
• Save changes and restart the computer
• Check if the issue is resolved
c) Run a full virus scan on the computer
d) Run a sfc scan. Click on Start, click on run, type sfc /scannow and click on ok. You may be prompted to insert the windows disk
e) Do a system restore to the date when everything was working fine.
