Evening Dan from SMB Nation!
The following MSFT KB article is talking about XP, but makes total sense as
an option for you to try to correct this. Below is the link and the body of
the page that seems to fit your situation.
Night,

SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows XP, you may receive one of the following error
messages:
STOP: 0xc000026C [Unable to load device driver] DriverName
-or-
STOP: 0xc0000221 [Unable to load device driver] DriverName
-or-
STOP: 0xc0000221. Bad image check sum, the image user32.dll is possibly
corrupt. The header check sum does not match the computed check sum.
DriverName is the name of the device driver file.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if one of the following conditions is true:
A device driver file (.sys) is missing or damaged.
The missing or damaged file is probably the driver file that the error
message mentions.
The User32.dll file may be missing or damaged.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use the appropriate method for your symptoms.
Missing or Damaged Driver File
Use Recovery Console to replace the missing or damaged driver file. To do
so, follow these steps:
Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then
restart the computer. Select any options that are required to start the
computer from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start Recovery
Console.
If your computer is configured for dual booting or multiple booting,
select the relevant Windows XP installation.
When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password, and then
press ENTER.
NOTE : In Windows XP Home Edition, the administrator password is\ blank by
default.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd windows\system32\drivers
To rename the damaged driver file, type the following command, and then
press ENTER
ren drivername .sys drivername .bak
where drivername is the name of the damaged driver file.
To copy the driver from the Windows XP CD-ROM to the Drivers folder, type
the following command, and then press ENTER
copy cd-rom :\i386 drivername
where cd-rom is the drive letter for the drive that contains the Windows XP
CD-ROM.
Type exit , press ENTER, and then restart the computer.
