Bad Image Checksum from Update Download

[Guest]

Prior to our time change recently, I started up my home computer to make sure
all the XP updates were installed (I don't very often turn it on, so I knew I
would have some updates).

Not very far into the download, I got a blue screen with this error message:

STOP: C0000221 {BAD IMAGE CHECKSUM} The image olesvr32.dll is possibly
corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

I have searched the MS Knowledge Base, and have found some ideas how to fix
it, but my problem is I can't boot into safe mode, nor can I use my recovery
CD to get into XP. The CD drive has power, so I can open it to put a CD in,
but the computer won't read it or boot from it. I can't get beyond this blue
screen.

I cannot get to a DOS prompt, either. I have no idea what to do next. If
anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Here's an idea: Do not post the same question more than once. It's rude
and irritates many people, diminishing your chances of getting a good
response.
