WTF?

[hoffman-log.livejournal.com]

All right guys...  I never thought this would happen, but I'm calling in the favor.

My computer has a problem, and I can't think of how to fix it.  (Well, formatting works, but I'm trying to avoid that).

Here's the situation.  I was updating my AIM when suddenly I received a BSOD.  The error was BAD_POOL_HEADER.  When I reboot and attempt to start AIM, I receive:

"aim.exe - Bad Image

The application or DLL C:\Program Files\AIM95\Xprt.dll is not a valid Windows image.  Please check this against your installation diskette."

I've tried rebooting.  Doesn't work.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.  I get the same BSOD when reinstalling.  Just for giggles, I ran chkdsk c: /r overnight and it didn't catch anything bad with the drive.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Hmmm. Try redownloading the installer (clear your cache first).
