Photoshop cs6 does not work anymore

Question

I have a windows 7, 64 bit. I had an issue with my my pc, i scan it with malwarebytes, it removed about 9 viruses, i can't tell you what was removed, i accidentally emptied the quarantine.

Since i removed the viruses, Photoshop wont start anymore, it said that amtlib.dll was missing. I downloaded that, but now it shows the following error.

What's the problem?

Solution

ok, the error code 0xc000007b means the DLL was a wrong CPU architecture, so get the correct one:

C:\Users\André>err 0xc000007b
# for hex 0xc000007b / decimal -1073741701
  STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT                                    ntstatus.h
# {Bad Image}

So after you just cleaned your system of viruses, you downloaded a random DLL from some site? Even if it was clean, do you know if that's the version the app requires? How about just reinstalling Photoshop?

@Karan dll-files.com is the most popular site for dlls, if not the only one, so its my only option, i'm trying to fix before reinstalling, it's a last option

Copy and replace amtlib.dll at other Adobe product.

this error means you downloaded the file wit the wrong CPU architectur (64Bit for a 32Bit product)

@STTR i thought about doing it, but i don't have other adobe products installed, well adobe reader x, but i don't know where it is located, it doesn't show in the properties, anyway issue fixed, i had to download 64 bit version
