If the user receives the gdi32.dll bad image checksum error, it indicates serious issues with the file itself. In some cases, it means that the gdi32.dll file is missing from the system or has been overwritten. It's possible that another running computer program or process may delete the file accidentally.

Fixing the Error
One of the easiest ways to fix the gdi32.dll error is to run a system recovery, which may undo changes that caused damage to the file.

Copy the new gdi32.dll fie into the location C:\Windows\System32 and reboot. Contact Microsoft Support if the error continues.
