Click the 'Next' button after clicking a restore point.
8. Read over your chosen restore information on the confirmation screen, then click 'Next' or 'Finish.' Your computer will restore itself and then reboot, which will take a few minutes.
9. Click the 'OK' button on the confirmation dialog box that appears after rebooting. Check to see if you're still having problems related to setupx.dll. If you are, your best remaining option is to replace the file manually, which is explained in the next section.
Replacing Setupx.dll

How to Restore an Invalid Application in Win32

1. Ensure that the application you are trying to run is indeed a Win32 application. If it was designed for an older version of Windows (prior to Windows 95) or for DOS, it may not run properly on a 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if it was designed for a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7, it definitely will not run. Check the source from which you obtained the program for further details about the application.
2. Uninstall the application that Windows is calling invalid. Then, download and install the application again, if possible. If you are downloading the program from the Internet, make sure the source website is reliable and that the file you are downloading actually is an executable program. If you installed the application from a CD, make sure the disc is clean and undamaged.
3. Scan the file with a virus scanner of your choosing, as it is possible that the application has been infected by a computer virus.
4. Boot Windows in Safe Mode and try to run the program there. Restart your computer and hold down the 'F8' key as it boots. When the Advanced Options or Startup menu appears, choose 'Safe Mode.' If the program runs successfully in Safe Mode, then some other application running in the background of the normal Windows boot is preventing it from executing. Reboot your computer and use your virus scanner to fully scan your hard drives, especially if you are experiencing this problem with more than one program. Also, use a free spyware/malware scanner like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, which can be downloaded from the link in the Resources section of this article.

How to Fix Root Rot

Preparation
1. Remove the affected plant from the plant pot and set aside. Remove all other plants from the soil, because it is contaminated and will need to be replaced. Set the plant with root rot aside, away from the other plants.
2. Rinse the roots of the healthy plants in 75-degree water to remove the existing soil.
3. Mix sterilized drainage material like rocks, gravel or broken pieces of clay pot into your sterile soil to improve drainage. If you are using a container to grow your plants, put 2 to 3 inches of drainage material on the bottom of the pot to improve soil drainage.
4. Fill the container or growing area half full of soil and drainage mix. Gently place the plant in the planting area and hold it in place as you gently fill soil around its roots. Once the plant is stabilized and the growing container is full to within 1 to 2 inches of the top, give the soil a little pat to gently pack it in and even it out.
5. Water your newly replanted plant liberally and watch the water drain to make sure that its stagnant, root-rot encouraging water is no longer stopped up in your growing area.
Sterilizing soil
6. Sterilize the new soil. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
7. Place the soil in an oven bag like that which you would use to bake turkey and add a cup or two or water until the soil is moist, not runny. Seal the oven bag. Poke a meat thermometer into the soil at least 2 inches deep to measure the temperature.
8. Bake the soil at 200 degrees until the soil has been at 170 degrees for 30 minutes. If the soil begins to exceed 170 degrees before the time is up, turn the oven down or temporarily off to adjust the temperature.
9. Turn the oven off and allow the soil to cool inside the oven until it reaches a safe handling temperature; typically 110 degrees or below. The soil will be hot enough to burn you until it has been allowed to cool to this point.
10. Remove the soil from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before using it.

How to Fix a quot;JVM terminated. Exit code=13quot; Error in Eclipse

1. First, realize that this error is caused when you are attempting to start Eclipse using the wrong version of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). So you need to realize what JVM you are starting with.
2. If you are using Linux, you can type "which java" on the command line. Otherwise, you can type "java -version". This will give you the Java version.
3. Now, you need to research the correct JVM for the version of Eclipse that you are using. For example, if you are using Eclipse Europa, it may require the 1.5 JVM to start. When you initially get the error message, you may see something that says "requiredJavaVersion=1.5", which will tell you what version of the JVM is required.
4. Make sure that you have the correct version of Java installed.
