So today I tried booting into my laptop when it blue screened stating this....
"The procedure entry point GdiGetBitmapBitsSize could not be located in the dynamic link library GDI32.dll"
... now that isn't the issue. I've found a solution and it's a simple as replacing the file "GDI32.dll" in the System32 folder with a copy. From what I'm reading there supposed to be an EXTRA copy in (C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\I386\), though when booting from the CD I TRY copying from that location and it returns a "File not found" error. So then I FIND the correct directory that the file is held on the CD and try using the copy command to copy that file, and even though I can find the file using the dir command it still returns a "File not found" error. Is there a reason for this? I can see the file with the dir command and I know it's on the CD, though for what ever reason it STATES the file isn't there and I cant copy it, sadly this is not a Windows 7 MACHINE so I cant use the xcopy command which seems to copy the files that the copy command refuses to. Any ideas? This is my only XP machine, and I cant format the drive because I'd lose very important data.Quote
