Guest Bill Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I have been using XP Professional for over a year with no problems. Suddenly when I tried to start, the program would go through the BIOS check and then the Windows Logo would appear. At that point the screen would go blank and instead of the desktop appearing, the computer would essentially restart and the entire process would repeat over and over. I went to the Windows Advanced options menu and tried the various options available. It will not boot in safe mode. Boot logging will not work. VGA mode will not work. Last known good configuration, debugging mode will not function. I did have some success with "Disable automatic restart on system failure" Using that option I get a blue screen with the following message Stop: C0000221 (Bad Image checksum) The image ole32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum. Are there any suggestions to correct this situation? You're assistance would be appreciated. Bill

Guest Ron Badour Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Re: XP Start Up problem This could be a ram failure. If you have two or more sticks of ram, try removing all but one and see what happens. If no joy, remove that stick and put in one of the other sticks. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Bill" <WLOEFFLER@nycap.rr.com> wrote in message news:46b8c005$0$29690$4c368faf@roadrunner.com... >I have been using XP Professional for over a year with no problems. > > Suddenly when I tried to start, the program would go through the BIOS > check > and then the Windows Logo would appear.
