After doing a clean re-install from Windows XP CD, I went to Microsoft website and downloaded all the updates (60 of them!!!). Then, I installed McAfee Internet security suite and Office XP. Things were eprfectly fine until now, even afetr several reboots. Then, I went ahead and downloaded SP2 from Microsoft webpage. It then restarted my computer. Now, I get the Dell logo, Windows logo, followed by a blue screen with the following error message:
STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}
The image rpcrt4.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.
Any ideas on what I need to do? I didn’t want to try and re-install Windows XP again. It’s a slow process. I wanted to make sure if that will help, before starting off the process. Any other ideas?

On my system the file is located in:
C:\Windows\System32
It is 568KB date 04/08/2004
It should also be located in:
C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
Copy it from the second location to the first location.
Do a full check on your hard drive for errors. It might not be an installation error it might be your hard drive. You may just need to make repairs to your hard drive first.
