Stop: C0000221

Hello,

I've got some really bizarre things going on. I installed a new seagate hard
drive and reinstalled XP pro SP2 and installed all the updates and installed
my software and files; same ones are no my XP Home SP1 version updated with
all updates. I started having problems with the computer restarting as I was
installing updates and software. Odd, it would restart OK for some of the
updates but not the software. Once it shut down, I noticed the power light
was still lit on the case. I pushed the button and it restarted for a second,
then shut down. It did this repeatedly every time I pushed the button. The
way around it was to unplug for a minute, then it would start up normally.
This went on for a couple of weeks, so I just did a complete shutdown to
avoid this. When I had time I contacted Antec, the case manufacturer, and
they said it might be the power supply, which I upgraded and replaced. Still
the same problems, but then after a week I get this message:

Stop: C0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image urlmon.dll is possibly
corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

I've tried using the option on F8 to reboot with last known good
configuration with no success. I have tried to use the recovery console and
the system shuts down right in the middle of using it. I am wondering how to
replace the dll or other ways around this puzzling behavior. It's not the
hard drive, talked to Seagate, who also advised I check for bad resistors on
the mother board, they all have flat tops, no bulges. I'd like to salvage the
few files I had that didn't get backed up in time, but they are expendable if
need be. I just don't get this odd thing with the power just simply quitting.
This is the second install on this and the second time I used dBan to wipe
the drive clean to do a clean install and it would quit right in the middle
of that at times, till I finally got through it completely and reinstalled.
Prior to the blue screen, I'd kept my AV up to date (Trend Micro), my
firewall up do date (zone alarm pro) Spyware Doctor up to date and running,
along with Lavasoft professional. I ran these daily up to when it crashed.
Any help would be appreciated

Regards,

Sherman

Hello,

I tried the instructions given but they didnt work. When the prompt came up,
C:\windows> I put in the following right after the >cd windows\system32 and
got nothing, was told: The system cannot find the file or directory specifed.
Am I missing something here?

thanks,

Sherman
