Any technogeeks out there that wanna help me out!?!

Greetings children,

Ok, so the reason I haven't been on mIRC or playing poker lately is because my effing lappy is bust. I am getting an error message that says

STOP c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}

The image NETAPI32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

Anyone come across this b4? Anyone know how to fix this??!

btw ... yes, I realise that this is a poker forum and I should look elsewhere. I am doing!

So you need to get a new copy of that file as yours is corrupt.

Then after you get that file you want to ask yourself why that file was bad. It could be a) just a random MS screwup, b) a virus caused it (which is unlikely), or c) your harddrive is about to go tits up, or just has bad sectors starting and is on the fast path to going tits up.
Get the file you need (ask here if you cannot find it elsewhere) and scan that drive and see what comes up.
