Try the following and see if it helps:

Gdi.exe - Errors
http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/ergdi.htm

or.....

Here is some info on the GDI File:

The Graphical Device Interface handles all the functions needed to produce
images on your screen, including keyboard and mouse functions, as well as
print services. It can be affected by your video card driver so make sure
that you visit the manufacturer's web site and make sure you have the latest
drivers for your card. System resources are areas of memory that are used
by the input manager (USER.EXE) and the graphic display interface manager
(GDI.EXE) for keeping track of all of the windows that are open in a session
and for drawing objects on the screen.

Also, were you trying to print a webpage at time the error came up?

Try this tweak:

Right-click "My Computer" -> select Properties -> Performance -> Advanced
Settings -> File System button -> Settings -> Typical role of this
computer - Choose Network Server. Click APPLY and click OK.

if still you joy......

You will need to use the Internet Explorer repair tool:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Click Add/Remove Programs.
5. On the Install/Uninstall tab, click Microsoft Internet Explorer
6. Click Add/Remove.
7. Select Repair Internet Explorer.
8. Click OK.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
