| 155789 | 2003-06-28 05:11:00 | I am trying to install windows XP Pro (update) over ME. All goes fine until after updating files but before installation of XP Pro, I get the following message when it re-boots. "Stop: c0000221 (Bad Image Checksum) The image user32dll is probably corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum" What does this mean in laymans terms and how do I fix it? Running a P3 128meg ram 30Gig H/D Thanks Stevo |

| 155790 | 2003-06-28 06:02:00 | Is it a clean ME install, or over the top after it has been used for a while? I updated from 98 and did a clean 98 install first, with minimum options installed. | wotz (335) | ||

| 155792 | 2003-06-28 08:50:00 | This brings back memories about a year ago when I did the same thing. From memory when you go through the process there is some sort of choice whether you want to instal on Fat32 or NTFS. I think that the similar error I got was when I selected FAT32, I started again and chose NTFS and it worked without problem, other than that, good luck. sam m |

| 155793 | 2003-06-28 11:19:00 | ME & XP have a completely different structure, & it will cause you nothing but grief if you install over the top. Format the partition and do a clean install, it will save you a lot of strife :-) |

| 155794 | 2003-06-30 07:10:00 | Thanks for your input. Have done a fresh install as suggested. Runs fine now. | Stevo (3797) | ||
| 155795 | 2003-06-30 12:12:00 | From what you have said it sounds like a dodgy CD to me because a check sum refers to the validity of a file so the file is corrupt. You could try copying the installation media to a seperate partition (or Dir) and running it from there. The other thing is are you using a valid CD and not a Recovery CD. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
