Hi Trevor,
There are two methods to solve this error.
1. Try to boot your computer in safe mode. While doing so Windows will open only the bare minimum files to start. If you don’t find the same problem again, start your computer in normal mode again and if you find that problem afterwards, it means some program is causing this error and you need to clean your boot.
Cleaning the boot will remove software conflicts. Please find the video here to know how to clean boot? – https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows. Or
2. There are chances that file is corrupted or having a bug. ‘MSIMG32.dll’ is a system file so you must know which system file is leading to this issue and remove it through scan.
To find a system file causing issues you shall use System File Checker Tool (SFC.exe) which will scan your all system files and to scan here is how you do it –
A. Start/All programs/Accessories/right-click on Command Prompt/Click Run as administrator.
B. If password is set as administrator, enter the password or else just allow.
C. At the Command Prompt, type “sfs/scannow” (Please see image below) and enter. The scan will start.
I think you should not have any problems then.
