Re: error message on start up

 

You can do a system repair from the CD to fix that. Or you can do the manual

way: "Most likely you will need to expand the file from the CD. The command

would be expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll. Substitute d:

for the drive letter of your CD. Once you have expanded the file type "exit"

to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer. " (from
