I cannot give you to many spects because i can't get into the windows to find out what the computer spects are but this i do know: it is a hp pavillon ze2000 running window xp home. This is the message i am getting when i turn the computer on:windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>system32, toskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file. i have put the application and driver recovery dvd and it does no good.
I tried to do COMPLETE Windows XP (Home) reinstall and at first it went ok (I think), but while restarting it gave me this error message:<windowsroot>system 32hal.dll
When I try to boot my computer it says:"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<Windows root>system32hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file." I tried to boot my computer with the OS cd and got nothing.
all applications locked. i shut down by pressing and holding the button but when started up again the error message "windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <windows root>system32hal.dll" appeared.chkdsk came up with no errors? Tried BOOTCFG/LIST, BOOTCFG/SCAN same error message, not sure what to do now?
But anyways i'm major computer problems. I have a Windows xp Compaq computer and im getting an error that says <Windows root>system32hal.dll. is missing or corrupt.
Please install a copy of this file.
so i dont have that file and i was wondering whats wrong and what to do?
I have been having trouble with a potential virus ever since I visited a google link where instead of a page loading IE crashed. Spybots teatime gave me a bunch of popups about changed entries which I was forced to accept. Since then I've had adspyware reappear over and over. Ad-aware detected it and removed it, but clearly not the underlying problem. System been running slow. I was in a game where I shut down a bunch of background programs including avg antivirus,teatime & zonealarm to free up resources. When I shut down teatime it gave me a bunch of messages about blocked changes. These set of popups had to be forceably closed. Then my system was running at a crawl. So I exited the game and restarted my PC. Now after the XP loading screen I get a black screen with no hdd light/activity. No save mode variation works either.(or previous working configeration etc) Fortunately I had win98 duel booted for older games. If a virus has caused this problem, its undetectable by many a antivirus program. Maybe some rootkit thing? What do I do? Hijackthis only checks the OS it runs under and I can only run win98. BTW, can't reinstall XP because I lost the CD. Assuming what ever rootkit virus wouldnt still be there to prevent loading anyways.
When I turn on comp. get the mssg: Windows couldn't start following file missing <Windows root>/system32/hal.dll Reinstall copy of file Recovery does not work. Tried to boot from a cd (changed BIOS to cd as 1st boot device) with win xp setup boot disk downloaded from MS site. Get same error mssg.
I have a copy of windows but I don't want to have to reformat my drive. I have gone into the recovery thing from the xp disk bit that's as far as I can go. I don't know how to use the command prompt
I am getting the following error and it loops: "file is missing or corrupt windows root system32 hal.dll" When I try and run the windows cd and either wipe or repair the error it tells me that the "the setup did not find hard drive disks" Now I am thinking the hard drive is defective?? Or do I have a virus?
HP notebook (4 yrs old), running XP. I do not have the recovery disc. I can not get into safe mode as it stops loading in the process of loading or checking drivers. I can get it to the XP splash screen but when it goes to the next screen which should be my log on screen, it is blank. Is there anyway to fix this and replace the file or do I trash it and get a new laptop.
Due to lapse of sense at a particular moment on my part, my DELL Inspiron laptop was not protected when accessing the internet for a download. Windows XP is the operating system. When booting up, error message states that the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>system32hal.dll Please reinstall a copy of the above file. I've tried numerous programs and software packages that "guarantee" results but none have accomplished anything except wasting my time and money.
I am running winxp . due to virus infection in my machine I lost all the .pst file and also Thunderbird inbox files. All the start program shortcut was also wiped out. I was running AVG anti virus. Now I removed AVG and installed Microsoft supplied security essential software. It detected following virus ware and removed subsequently I want to recover deleted .pst and thunderbird mails.
I had my system running XP but it is now running Windows 7 and for the reason I backed my files up to a portable Hard Drive formatted as FAT32. Now when I try to use the Files And Settings Transfer Wizard it doesn't seem to recognize the files and says that they are not there.
Hadn't been on the computer for a couple of days, when I did I saw that Norton had found 2 high risk viruses (I don't recall what they were). I selected to fix both of them and it seemed to work. I also noticed that I had about 10 My Computer folders open. It then told me to reboot the computer, which I did. When the computer restarted, it seemed to power up OK, it then said starting Windows, and it went to the log-in screen. (I have two log-ins, one for me and one for my wife). When I click on either one of the two log-ins, it automatically says saving settings and logging off, and then it goes right back to the two log-in selections. I have tried to log-in in Safe Mode, and every other option available to me, and I get the same outcome. I tried the Recovery Disk that came with the computer, and it would not boot from the CD drive, even when I changed the settings to boot from the CD Drive. It tried to star once and I hit R for a Standard Recovery and it seemed to start, then I got a BOOT: Memory overflow error��..Please insert another disk and it just locked up. I rebooted and I could not get back to the recovery menu. It just sits there with a black screen with a blinking cursor and then I get the following error. �Disk Boot Failure, insert system disk and press enter�. And it does the same thing now every time I try it. Is there a way I can just get to normal DOS to try and recover my files?
Does anyone know how to recover files in widows XP The problem is i installed a new OS but i did'nt format the hard-drive In "Documents and Settings" Folder my files still exist but i cant seem to get access.
I was wondering if it is possible to recover files that have been deleted, the recycle bin was emptied and there was files in there that I want back. So I was wondering if it is possible, and if so, how I go about it.I wasn't 100% sure where to post this, so seeing as I have Windows XP I thought this would be the best place to post it.
Is it possible to recover files you have deleted? When I got my new computer, I accidently deleted some programs files that I still needed..(I'm a novice..)
A friend of mine's hard drive was damaged so I replaced it and installed Windows XP on the new Hard drive. This was fine and no problem. In an effort to salvage some of his files from damaged hard drive I connected it as slave and windows recognised it with out a problem. Now the tricky bit! I was able to access "My Documents" on the old HD but when I tried to open his folder(for his profile) I got an "Access denied" message. He then told me that he had a password on his previous windows profile. Since Windows is not booting from this HD and I don't have an option to enter a password, is there a way to access this folder?
WINDOWSSystem32smss.exe and C:WINDOWSsystem32winlogon.exe were accidently deleted. How can I get them back. My system retore was turned off so no chance going there if this was any possibility.
Recently the computer crashed, and i couldnt start it normally. i used windows ME. after turning the computer on, it went to a blank screen and gave me an option to do something. i tried many things and in the end just installed windows xp to override the problem. that worked, however i have lost all my files. is there some way to get them back? this has happened to a friend and i do know there is some way to recover some files. does someone?
I had my kid start my computer Win 2000(mistake) and a different desktop came up. It came up with a registry error and that everything was in admin.bak I copied it to desktop and rebooted now everything is missing. Can I recover my files?
I just reinstalled windows xp on a computer which was having problems with win xp installation. I do not remember how I reinstalled it but I somehow forgot to save a few data files. I would like to have kept. Does anyone know of any utilities including freeware and non freeware to try to scan the hard disk and recover the files in case they still exist and the problem is that they are just not indexed by the file system?
hey i just did a system recovery, thinking it was a system restore, and now all my files are gone. i have a few programs, but other than that it seems as if i just bought the computer, it took me through the welcome speech and everything. i really want my files back, don't care as much about the programs because they are all replaceable,
