When trying to open Scanner and Camera Wizard: "wiaacmgr.exe badimage" box appears

The full error message is "The application or DLL C:\windows
\system32\COMres.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this
against your installation diskette."

What is the problem here?

How do I check it against the installation diskette?

Thanks,

Lew
