nvSCPAPI.dll Bad Image
When ever I try to run any game I am getting a error. "Untitled: (name of program.exe) - Bad Image C:/program files (x86)/NVIDIA Corporatio/3D Vision/nvSCPAPI.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system admin or the software vendor for support. The games still start but I get this error every time. How do I fix this?

Try [u]re[/u]installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system admin or the software vendor for support. :D I couldn't resist, seriously though, try reinstalling the drivers, do a clean install.

If it's "any game" and it turns out not be be the driver. I'd guess that your hard drive is failing. Better back up those game saves fast!!! Unless they are Steam Cloud saves:P All of the harddrive manufacturers have free downloadable programs that check the disc(s) for bad sectors. You might wanna try one of them If you are using Steam, you can try right clicking on the name of the game in your game list and choose properies>local files>verfify integrity of game cahe

This is a windows aero related error. You have to fix aero somehow. If you can't fix it, you might have to reinstall windows to make this error go away. Try this first though. Open Control panel-> Advanced Tools -> Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows -> On the Visual Effects tab, select Custom and uncheck Enable Aero Peek. Good luck.
