If you’ve just installed City Car Driving (the popular driving simulator), only to be met with an error message reading "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b)" , you’re not alone. This is one of the most common—and frustrating—runtime errors on Windows. What Does Error 0xc00007b Actually Mean? At its core, error code 0xc00007b (often written as 0xc000007b or STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT ) indicates a bitness mismatch . In simple terms: your system is trying to run a 32-bit application using a 64-bit process (or vice versa), but the required dynamic link libraries (DLLs) are of the wrong architecture.
