I have done the research to try and fix the missing hal.dll (google and have seen a lot of fixes). Here is the issue : when I boot, it stops before XP comes up and gives me the error that the hal.dll is corrupt or missing, please reboot. I have tried to reboot several times. 1) I put the hard drive on another computer, but it wouldn't read it properly (using an USB 2.0 external bay) 2) I have tried the windows recovery CD (booted with the XP CD) and did the bootcfg /rebuild but I get an error and it won't let me - and tells me I must do a chkdsk. So I am trying that, but it is taking forever (on an 80 gig drive). I am hoping this fixes the issue ,but I c…

I'm not even sure what group to put this in so I'll start in general and if it belongs somewhere else, just say so! So I have this IBM x3650 here that's running Win2K8 Datacenter Edition. I need to make a very simple server out of it that has the following requirments, in order of priority. 1) Share files via NFS to a small group of Unix (Fedora Core 5) clients on a private subnet. 2) Be viable and accessible by Corporate IT as a Windows machine with standard shares. 3) All file level transactions (read/modify/write) must be logged and fully auditable. 4) Be able to be backed up via TSM or Backup Exec. This server has two network cards in it, …

It appears that the default Administration hasbeen change as User. Thanks

I am unable to download a specific file, http://www.logmein.com/logmein.msi. This is the install file for the LogMeIn remote control software. I am using IE7 and it gives me an error "data area passed to a system call is too small." it happens as soon as the download begins, so I never get the file. I know enough about programming to know what this means -its a win32 buffer error, but I dont know what to do about it. I am on xp pro sp2, just got the latest IE7, defragged harddrive. I am able to download much larger files from all kinds of web sites with no problems at all. Vendor's tech support staff has no idea what the problem is but seems convinced it is w…

I have a curious thing that happens from time to time with my start menu, and I cannot figure out what is causing it. Every so often, when I click on the Start button, the menu pops up, but is doubled. What I mean is, it's like it's there twice, one in the normal position, and an exact copy above it on the screen. Both appear equally "solid", and the shortcuts on both seem to work the same. I have checked the actual menus in Windows Explorer, and everything there is OK. If I reboot, or set the menu to "Classic" and then back to the XP style, it all comes right again. I've used XP for several years, and never seen anything like this. Everything works OK, th…

When I receive Automatice Windows XP updates, the icon in the system tray will sometimes dissappear and sometime later when I want to reboot, I will see and option to install the updates and shutdown. Is it possible to change this to install the updates and restart? Thanks ~alan

My wife has always preferred our desktop monitor's resolution to be set low, at 800 x 600. Getting her ready for a nice new 19-inch LCD (1440 x900), I decided to raise the old monitor's resolution (the highest it can support is something like 2000x1600). It put it at 1280x1024 and the icons and fonts on webpages look incredibly small. I went into the start menu properties and told it to use large icons; and the settings in the desktop properties--I change the font size to large. But as you can see, everything looks incredibly small. http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=resolutionvz4.jpg This monitor is an old Sony Trinitron, on its last legs. I…

Windows XP automatically installed sp3 for me. I restarted the computer, and it wouldn't reload again. I can only load using debugging mode. After about ten minutes everything freezes and I have to start all over again. No safe mode. No system restore. Can anyone help please?

Thank you for your response. The users are part of a domain. I tried the following, but it did not resolve the issue. I deleted the printers from the computer. I made the user an administrator. I then reinstalled the printers. I tested the separator page, but it still displayed "Administrator", not the user's name. Do you know how I can fix this issue? Are the user part of a domain? If they entered the credentials for Administrator when making the printer connections, the jobs hit the server with the same security ID -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?a…

My eyesight is getting to be no match for site designers using ever smaller fonts. Is there some procedure to force larger fonts? Also, in the acessability area, I see mention of a "style" sheet that sounds hopeful, but I can not find any detailed help for creating and using style sheets in IE-7 Help or tips appreciated. Thanks

Friday before I left for the day programs just suddenly started erroring out and then i got a BSOD. I had to go home, so i just let it reboot itself and left for the day. Came in this morning and it looks like it was trying to do a scandisk over the weekend (which only takes a few minutes) and was stopped on part 2 of 3... so, i shut it down, started it up and let it go through it again (which it accomplished)...but, once it started up again I could login, but had no desktop icons, no start bar, nothing. I can do a CRTL + ALT + DEL to bring of the task manager, but that is it. I can also login using safe mode, but I can't see anything in there either. It…

I am wondering if it should matter that on my computer, I find this in C:\Windows\system32 instead of in C:\Windows\System as i have seen listed on some sites on the web.... Thanks, Sue

Hello all, Winxp prof, SP3 I have found a very few post on this issue but ever since uninstalling IE 8 my machine has become a dog. I am getting this error: Event Type: Error Event Source: Userenv Event Category: None Event ID: 1041 Date: 9/16/2008 Time: 8:04:28 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: INFODEV Description: Windows cannot query DllName registry entry for {CF7639F3-ABA2-41DB-97F2-81E2C5DBFC5D} and it will not be loaded. This is most likely caused by a faulty registration. When I look up the Guid in the registery I see that it is under GPExtensions. The errors come in groups of 4 and all point to the GPExtensions guids. Any i…

We have a small network with under 30 users and only 10 external staff want to implement a TS with TS Gateway for external SSL connections and to save us having to open up port 3389 to the internet in general. It seems overkill to use 2 servers to do this so ... is it possible to run TS Gateway on the same server as the actual Terminal Server itself? We are thinking of this to save the need for a 2nd TS gateway server when just one well specified server will do the job. I understand that we would have to open the TS up to the internet on port 443, but for a small user this seems acceptable assuming we configure/patch/harden the server properly. Thank in a…
