Computer doesn't restart

[Guest lschley]

Yesterday when I started my computer. It would not load and went to the safe

mode window.

I tried safe mode and all the other option on that page and nothing works.

The only way to turn off the computer is to shut it down.

 

I tried to do a restore and the restore shut down.

Now all I get is the following message:

 

Windows could not start because of the following file is missing or corrupt:

<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.

Please re-install a copy of above.

 

Where can i download the following file

I am using a different computer now.

 

Thanks Loren

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

Perform a repair install with your XP cd.

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

When we bought the computer it came with XP install on it--we didn't receive

a cd with it

if the computer is

not accessible, then

the only method is

to obtain a cd with

windows on it to begin

the process of repairing

the system

 

1) with the use of the

recovery console you

can run the method number

2 in the above link.

 

further, you can use "any"

windows cd that you can

borrow from someone and

use the recovery console to

log into your disk.

 

2) if you cannot acquire a

windows disk, then perhaps

you can remove your harddrive

and install it on another pc

as a slave drive so it can be

operated on with some disk

commands.

 

3) if neither of the two above

are suitable then you can

go to the homesite for your

pc and look up issues and

resolutions, 4) maybe you can

order disk for your pc or

send in your harddrive or

something.

 

this link parallels the 1 and

2 above but are a bit more

detailed:

Hey, DB, can you change your margins to 60 chars at least?

Not yelling at you but my mouse is getting tired of scrolling down the

page. Or am I the only one that sees 5 words per line. ?

No, you're far from the only one. Many others have asked the same

thing of him, but he ignores them and continues to do it his own way.

 

My mouse doesn't have to scroll down the page for his messages. He's

killfiled here.

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

But you do understand that your posting are hard to read. Even

though you write in complete sentences, I sometime feel like I've

read an Optometrist Eye Chart trying to string the fragments from

one line to another. Is your composition window that wide or do

you have some other reason to use a ~24 character line break ?

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

i do so for the

reading impaired

and the software

they have to use.

 

by no means is the

inconvenience of

your nose picker and

the burden of a mouse

scroller be compared

to that kind of disability.

 

perhaps, this information

will be helpful to those

most valuable primates

that use their fingers for

smelly purposes

before.

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

Statements like what? I mean, there aren't all that many people in this

newsgroup in the first place, so I don't know what you're getting at -

unless you're trying to say there are a lot of impaired people in here, or

something to that effect. But why would I assume that, given how small the

group here is?

One must never press the Enter key at the end of a line.

Only press it for a new paragraph. A user can always resize

the email to see as few characters as desired.

Re: Computer doesn't restart

 

Are you implying that there are some reading impaired people in here, or

something to that effect?? Would you assume that (given how small the

group is)? Or are you, and it's easier for you? (if so, you could just

say that).
