Blue Screen Hi, My laptop A105 shows this blue screen with it saying STOP c0000221 Bad Image Checksum The Image gdi32.dll is bossibly corrupt. The Header checksum does not match the computed checksum. Please Help.

Try loading in Safe Mode and disabling as many Startup programs is MSCofig as possible. You could also try rolling back with System Restore, again in Safe Mode. From there try uninstalling any software that was loaded prior to the problem.
Another route is trying to load Windows on top of its self as to correct any corrupted files. Then try testing your RAM one DIMM at a time, one slot at a time to eliminate bad RAM.
Finally a clean install may be required, then going back to RAM isolation if occurs with a clean Windows setup.

This error is not the same as a CMOS Checksum Error, which refers to corrupted values of the CMOS settings, the ones you set through the BIOS setup program. This error means the contents of the BIOS code itself are damaged.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press delete to enter setup
Press and hold delete during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart
click start control panel date and time you can make your adjustments to the date and time from there also right click on the date and time on the bottom toolbar (bottom of screen) you should see Adjust date and time tab
hope this helps you

Yes it may be possible, installing and updating antivirus may have figured our corruption in urlmon.dll deleted the file or did some changes due to which you are getting the critical error

You can try 2 things,

1. Restore earlier settings, which may uninstall your antivirus and you need to install again. But if this works recommend you to first scan the system with free standalone antivirus availalable and then install your version of antivirus. Try following link

Try reinstalling Windows XP

Just FORMAT it... But if you scare of losing your info and data, then choose the option to REPAIR the windows installation. Or what you can do is do a checkpoint system restore. You will have to go through much more headachs to resolve it.

Most of the time that problem occurred because of an unsuccessful installation of a program or app. Or you might of deleted a common file accidently...

You most likely have bad RAM. If you have two chips, pull one out and run the laptop on a single stick. You may need to alternate the sticks just incase the non-working one is the one you left in the laptop.

your windows prolly crashed because your hard drive is going bad, and thats why your getting error messages when reinstalling.

The solution is to restore the GDI32.dll from the service pack into Windows system folder with the following steps:

1. Boot from your Windows CD
2. At Welcome to Setup screen, press “R” to start repair option and open up a Recovery Console’s command prompt window.
3. Select the Windows installation to use, normally is C:\Windows and just one option. If so, press “1′ and hit Enter.
4. If prompted for administrator password, enter the password (normally blank) and hit Enter.
5. Make a backup of existing GDI32.dll in system folder with following command: REN C:\Windows\System32\GDI32.dll C:\Windows\System32\GDI32.dll.orig (take note of spaces)
   

Replace “C” of the drive letter of your Windows installation drive if necessary.

6. Then copy backup GDI32.dll from c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\gdi32.dll to the system folder with the following commands: copy C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\GDI32.dll C:\Windows\System32\GDI32.dll (take note of spaces)
   
7. Restart computer.

This should Fix the problem.
