Alert: Bad Image; netsetup.cpl; invalid Windows image
mouser:
f0dder's guess about what is happening is pretty good.
check the search directories for FARR in its options.
you could also try clearing your farr launch history and restarting it and see if the problem is gone.

I think clearing my launch history may have solved the problem. I cleared the launch history. When I bring up FARR, it does not display any items. I launched Outlook, Firefox, and a batch file that launches a command window. I then clicked on the launch history tab in Options and it shows only the three items I started up. For those three invocations of FARR, I have not encountered the netsetup.cpl error.
I am doing the above remotely, connecting to my computer at work (the machine with the 32-bit and 64-bit XP). I'll be exercising FARR on that machine some more when I get back to work on Monday.
I do think it's odd that I was running into this error even though no items in my launch history (when viewing the tab and the FARR .ini file) included items from drive C:.
Thanks for all the help. If I run into it again, I'll be sure to post a message.

Sorry, but I'm still encountering those alert messages about "bad image".
I don't know if the following information will be useful: ProcessExplorer (from SysInternals) says the alert message window is from csrss.exe, which is described as "Client Server Runtime Process".
Here's one scenario that's reproducing the error consistently.
1. I bring up FARR.
2. I type "w" and see some entries. Here's a screenshot: http://www.box.net/shared/static/69d0ob8kk0.png
3. I type "o" and the "Bad Image" alert comes up. I click OK and another one pops up. The alert pops up 7 times total. Here's a screenshot: http://www.box.net/shared/static/gmrw6x7kg4.png

It sounds like one of the control panel shortcuts is confusing farr. that might solve it
Try deleting the "FindAndRunRobot/Scripts/Control Panel (cpanel)/Network Setup Wizard (cpanel).lnk" shorcut
(dont actually delete it, move it to some temp directory on your computer outside of FARR directory).
If that dont solve it, try deleting the entire "FindAndRunRobot/Scripts/Control Panel (cpanel)" folder.
ptran:
Hi,
Thanks for the tip about those shortcuts. I am no longer seeing those "bad image" messages when I typed the "wo" sequence as I described in my post on March 7. I followed the tips and ended up moving two shortcuts:
Network Setup Wizard (cpanel).lnk
Wireless Network Setup Wizard (cpanel).lnk
If either of these entries are in the "FindAndRunRobot/Scripts/Control Panel (cpanel)" directory under "E:\Program Files", then typing the "wo" sequence results in the "bad image" alert about "C:\WINDOWS\System32\netsetup.cpl". Now that I have moved both of them into another directory outside of the FARR installation directory tree, I no longer see the "bad image" alert when using the "wo" sequence.
This workaround looks very promising because I was able to reproduce the alert and verify my "wo" sequence no longer results in the alert.
FYI: I am running FARR v2.00.145. Sorry I did not mention this earlier.
