Error while installing IE7

After restarting my computer, following what I believed to be a successful installation of IE7, a blue screen appeared with the message:

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

Is it possible to repair, or would a reinstall be necessary?

IE7 installs a new version of wininet.dll and it appears that copy on you system is either corrupt or older version.

Un-install IE7 and try installing again. When un-installed (from Add/Remove Programs), you will revert to IE6.

Before installing IE7 again, disable any anti-virus, anti-spyware, or firewall (other than Windows firewall) software that is running.

The problem is that Windows doesn't start up.

Would repairing Windows by using the recovery console work?

No, the PC won't boot into safe mode

IF you can get into the computer system to even do that... so now im lost. what do i do when i cant get into the comp? safe mode doesnt do anything... i cant boot from the XP disc...
