Gdi.exe cannot load error

A friend of mine is trying to start WINDOWS 3.1.1 and gets the error loading gdi.exe.  We tried copying a new gdi.exe to the system and windows directories from my WINDOWS 95 system because it is not on his system anymore.  Any help would be apprectiated... thanks!!!!!

try reloading the video drivers for the system.
The GDI.EXE from Win95 will not work in Win 3.11.You'll have to find the Win 3.11 version (220,800 bytes,dated 11-11-93) and put it in \Windows\System.Don't forget to delete that second copy of Win95's GDI.EXE in \Windows.
