I posted several days ago about windows not starting and getting the Ntoskrnl.exe, well I finally got the disk to got to Recovery console and fix that error, then I got a Hal.dll error, fix it. Rebuilt the boot file and now windows try to start then the "Blue Screen of Death" pops up and I'm now getting the following error: "Stop: C0000221[Bad Image checksum] The image Shdocvw.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum." Seems like I fix one error and get another. I'm also doing an NAV Emergency scan. Any thoughts / fixes for the checksum / shdocvw.dll error??? Thanks Rick A.

JohnW: I have used alott of them before, But are they "Bootable"??? I still can't get windows to start, due to the last error (Checksum/Shdocvw.dll)....

Checksum Shdocvw http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Checksum+Shdocvw&btnG=Search&meta= Shdocvw http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=Shdocvw&btnG=Search&meta=

If you can't get in at present via usual XP boot... perhaps get yourself a copy of Knoppix (download an iso and burn to a CD, or buy it for a few $$$/£££ on CD). This is linux on a CD and is fully bootable; boot up with it and you're into full working linux system. Then go on-line and do an on-line scan etc... Once clean... if you can't boot up to XP afterwards... try a repair installation...? Knoppix will also allow you to access data etc. and transfer off the drive entirely. http://www.knoppix.org/ (There are pages in various lanaguages.)

I can get into the "Recovery Console",but that's it.. Do you lose your files/data when you do a repair?? I have rebuilt the boot file and fixed the first 2 problems, but now I have the third problem... Seems like i'm getting closer to a "Start", but errors keep popping up. At least last time, I got to the Xp screen. Farest I've been in 3 days..

It will then search for a previous copy of Windows. When it finds your copy, it will stop at the next prompt and ask if you want to do a repair. Hit R at this screen. If it does'nt mention a repair > DO NOT continue. It will then copy a lot of files and appear to be doing a reinstall ( But its not. All your programs and data are safe, all you will lose, are your Windows updates ) This will allow you to add accounts to the system that will be administrator accounts, it will also fix most problems in XP.
