Hi,
My predicament is as follows: I am putting together a new pc and had two copies of xp installed. One would work perfectly but due to the other installed xp operating system I always had to manually select the xp home revision 2 , if I didn't the pc would automatically try to boot up the other xp that happens to be an eariler model of xp home and for some reason it would not boot. So I decided to try a complete install thinking that in doing so that I would delete everything and be left with the one working installed xp home. After I completed the complete install windows now will only boot to the logo and then after than it get the blue screen with a message "STOP:C0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image wow32.dll is possably corrupt the header checksum does not match the computed checksum". I am unable to do anything now except repeat the proceedure of starting the pc and it cycling through to the message. I was hoping that someone could help me determine how large a charge it will take to reset it? This is the first time that I have had experience with the checksum thing and was hoping that someone could show me what I need to do to again be able to install xp without getting the repeating message. I don't care about saving any data since there is none. would unpluging the harddrives make any difference? Would it do any good to try shutting down the motherboard? Could I have a positive result by installing two new harddrives? Anyway , It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out with this problem. I don't have alot of money but I do have a little and I would not be averse to a finders fee to inform me of a way to repair this problem. Again , thanks for any help that any of you guys can give. thanks
