Bad image checksum

[Guest traumajohn]

Hi,

I have a pc with xp home. It was runnning fine. I downloaded sp2 and it

stopped responding at the cleaning up stage. I did an alt cntrl delete to

restart the pc and now it just keeps restarting. I have selected safe mode,

last known good config and stop reboot when windows has an error. All with no

success. I either get a blue screen stated," stop: c0000221 bad checksum. The

image comdlg32.dll is probably corrupt. The header checksum does not match

the computed checksum or it just keeps restarting.

Thanks,

John

You will find a discussion of this error code, and how to attempt a recovery

at http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

By the way, this stop code is used by a lot of different sources. Be sure

that you select the one which fits your problem.

Hi Jim, Thanks for the response. I am trying to do a Windows repair and it is

asking for an Administrator password. I don't remember setting one or knowing

one. It is a Toshiba laptop. Does anyone know if Toshiba has and Adminstrator

password used during build.

John

ps how do I install the missing or corrupt dll ? I can't boot into safe mode

or any of the other choices.

All XP systems have a default account called Administrator; unless you

disabled it, it is still active. Unless you changed the password, it

remains blank.

Thus, when you need to login to this account, when XP asks for the password,

just press the enter key.

The Administrator account can be renamed (usually by you), but it cannot be

deleted by anybody.
