    hwy people. i recently turned on my laptop and it was on the self test screen (the screen that has the little blue bar scrolling along at the very beggining) and after that it comes up with a blue screen saying something like "bad image checksum" and some other stuff, i really do not want to use a recovery disc on it because it has a alot of things that i hold very valuable to myself so if any one knows how i can sort out this problem i will be grateful.

    Can you give us the error for what the other stuff that it says after bad image checksum? That is the key to fixing it. Here are a couple examples:

    C0000221 (Bad Image Checksum)
    -or-
    STOP: C0000221 - Bad Image Checksum in ModuleName
    -or-
    STOP: C0000221 - Bad Image Checksum. User32.dll
    Where the bold part is the file name if there is one

    ok it says: STOP: c0000221 {bad image checksum}
    the urlmon.dll is possibly corrupt. the header checksum des not
    match the computed checksum.
