I am using Win 7 64 bit. The problem is that live messenger and all 32 bit web browsers (ie 32 bit, firefox 32 bit) keep crashing several hours after I turn on my computer. In the mean time all 64 bit browsers work just fine. If I restart firefox or msn, they will crash again in 0.1 second. If I restart my computer, the problem will be gone for several hours and then come back. The error message is as follows: Faulting application name: msnmsgr.exe, version: 14.0.8117.416, time stamp: 0x4bc935af Faulting module name: GDI32.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdb38 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000152cf Faulting process id: 0xb08 Faulting application start time: 0x01cb150520e95dbd Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\syswow64\GDI32.dll Report Id: b57c0eca-8134-11df-98e3-5cff350ab023 Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks kikikoko

I appears the GDI32.dll may be corrupt. What is the exact make, model, and series of your computer or motherboard?

Lenovo Thinkpad X201I bought it a week ago. Windows 7 64 bit is up to date. I checked the date of gdi32.dll. The date is the same as most other .dll files in the same directory: C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

Since you bought it a week ago, then you need to contact Lenovo Support. The system comes with a manufacturer's warranty witch includes the Windows 7 pre-installed on the system. See info @ http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/contact-support The date of the two files will be the same, but one is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit. You can still get information about the file even if it is corrupted. Corruption does not mean the entire file is bad, it could be only one or two bytes within the file.
