Olecli32.dll is corrupted. What can I do?

Got the blue screen.

[notsosmart]

Finally got the blue screen on the oldest machine on my network, and wouldn't you know it, the person using it hadn't backed up her files in a while.

So I need to get into it somehow. Here's what happens:

when turned on, the machine seems to boot normally; win2k starts loading, and right when winlogon.exe is about to load, the hard disk turns off, and the blue screen appears.

The message is:

STOP: c0000221 {Bad Image Checksum}
The image olecli32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header checksum does not match the computed checksum. Blah blah blah.

I hate that word "checksum".

Any suggestions at all?

When you go into boot sequence, can you bypass to a c: prompt? Can you boot from a disk? Have you tried just reinstalling win2k?

Failing all else, slap the OS onto another hdd, install the new drive into the machine, access BIOS and make that drive bootable, then just use the old cd as a data drive. THEN MAKE BACKUPS IMMEDIATELY! (Make the individual who DIDN'T do them to begin with sit there until they're done! Paybacks are a *****....)

You could also take out THAT hdd, put into a new machine, and just "data drive" it....
