Title: Stop: c0000221 (Bad Checksum Error) - any ideas?
Post by: RTSDaddy2 on December 14, 2010, 12:06:50 pm

Ok guys, got a problem.

We have a registered program for use with our school (to the tune of $40) that has crashed with this error:
Stop: c0000221 (bad checksum errors), then follows with gdi32.dll may be corrupt.  I've been doing reading on it, but have had no success in fixing the error.

I can get it to boot into windows safe mode, I think, if I do a hard reboot. Maybe that's where I missing my mark in that I could try and reload the gdi32.dll file from CD if I can get it to start up that way.

Thanks for letting me ramble - crazy around here today.

Can get into windows safe mode if I try, but winds up booting far enough that the checksum error returns. 

These are OLD computers - could it be a battery issue?

Thank you! It'd be perfect - except that they don't have the XP disc. Will try and find it online later.

I would scan those harddrives as soon as you can. I wouldn't be surprised if they're starting to fail.
