Hi All,

When booting a 2000 pro Compaq Evo, I get a Stop:C0000221 Bad Image
Checksum error. The image kernel32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header
checksum does not match the computed checksum. The harddrive clicks once
before the error message.
I tried running CHKDSK /R from the recovery console, it ran with out errors.
There has been nothing added to this machine in the last two weeks. I
removed the 512 memory stick I put in 2 weeks ago,and I'm running stock
again?

Any thoughts? run a auto repair? not crazy about reinstalling all my apps
if I don't have to!

TIA

Click to expand...

You can try to copy kernel32.dll from the ...\system32\dllcache
directory to ...\system32 from the Recovery Console. If this does not
help try to copy kernel32.dll from e.g. a Service Pack CD or something
to the ...\system32 directory.
