I am running Windows XP via Parallels on my MacBook Pro (MacBook is running OS X Leopard). I went to start up my virtual PC today and I got the blue screen and it went to work redirecting orphaned files for about 20 minutes. I let it do what it wanted but then, when it finished with that it informed me of the following: "STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image rpcrt4.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum." My Mac is running fine and I do have access to all PC files without actually starting up my PC. So I was thinking that I could find the corrupted rpcrt4.dll file, replace it, and start her up as good as new. So I tried that and now when I try to start up my VM it says: "STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum} The image shell32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum." So I'm assuming that I have a large number of corrupted files. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!!! John
