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

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.

Thanks Olof!

Coping from the dll cache worked like a champ!!

Thanks again
