Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:<Windows boot>system32hal.dll.Please re-install a copy of the above file.
i found solutions for it.. but none of them worked.
one of them was to boot the WinXP CD... and go to the recovery console, which i did. However when i typed Boot /list i got this message: "there are currently no boot entries available to display."
I have tried to fix what I thought and probably was a "simple" thing.Other than reformatting the only other "simple" solution I see is to find a copy of my registry, [computer image before I screwed things up.]from several days ago and install that. Many years ago running Win98 I think I resolved a similar problem in this way.

I tried to reboot using the recovery console on the windows CD but windows cannot find the Sata hard drive at all So I cant use the CD to reinstall windows over existing windows either I have access to another system, without a floppy drive but not sure what the best method of solving this problem is...Dont want to reformat as I have things on the H/D I need, I know I should have backed up...unfortunately I didnt, wont happen again though, lesson well and truly learned

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell M1710 XPS laptop, recently because of a power cut it failed to boot because of a corrupt file. I've re-installed windows XP (for some reason I was not able to boot from CD and repair), now obviously alot of the programs that are still on the hardrive will not open because they need to be re-installed. Unfortunatly I'm stuck on a ship with very little internet access and no CD's to re-install stuff with. I don't know if its possible to get these things working
Anyway my major concern is I've lost alot of my I'tunes music and photos that were on my hard-drive before. They seem to be still on the harddrive as I still have only 10% of the drive left as free space and yet when I double click on C: drive on my computer there shows only 32 gigs of stuff in folders there and I cannot find any of my music (program files seem to be unaffected, there still on the drive as normal even if im unable to run them). Is there anyway to find these missing folders/files that still seem to be on my harddrive but not visable.
I have a small domain with about 20 XP SP3 client machines. There are 25 or so domain members. One of my users had some files "disappear" from his My Documents Folder. After checking the recycle bin and searching for hidden files and folders with no luck, I logged in as admin and looked at his C:documents and settings'username' folder and found that it was created on his original hire date in 2009. (nearly a year ago)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had this computer working for quite a while, at least a year, and I reinstalled XP a few days ago to rid the computer of spyware, etc. It installed with no errors, and worked fine for a few days after the reinstall. Last night I shut it down, started it back up this morning and it hangs on the Windows XP loading screen, the green bar keeps going through but it never boots. The same thing happens when I boot with the last good configuration that worked. When I boot in safe mode it hangs while it loads the safe mode files, the last one is Mup.exe, Mup.dll, or something that starts with Mup. MemTest86 shows no errors, so I guess its not the memory, and I don't know why anything would just stop working. I didn't install any new hardware, software, or drivers right before I shutdown last night. Here are my computer specs: Asus K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard. Athlon 64 3200+ CPU. 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC3200 Kingston Value RAM (Non-ECC). 250GB SATA Hard Drive (It's either Maxtor or Seagate, if you really need to know which I can check).ATI X800XT Video Card. Windows XP with the SP1 CD, but I downloaded and installed SP2 and it was running fine with SP2 for a few days.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a Windows 2000 Server (PDC) and a handful of workstations.I've been searching for a reliable, easy-to-use, solution for backing up our data. Most solutions that seem to fit the bill are designed for the large enterprises - something I cannot justify in terms of cost vs ROI.I've tried using Microsoft's backup but it fails every now and then to complete the backup and the logs are empty.Does anyone have suggestions for products to look at that allow me to:
* Schedule a backup of the server's data to a secondary machine on the domain. I'm happy to have workstations push data to the server for backup if required.
* Optionally backup the Operating System drive that would allow for quick recovery in the event of a total hard disk failure. In the past I've had to rebuild the server and then mess around with the workstations due to the accounts becoming invalid (no experience and I didn't know about this forum)
* Our server has RAID 1 - Ghost does not support RAID; I found out the hard way !!

In 2001 I purchased a Compact Presario with Windows XP Home Edition. I have slow dialup with MSN 9 as my browser and provider.Over the last few months, my PC has developed the following problems. They seem to have gotten worse when I was forced to upgrade from MSN 6 to MSN 9 last August.
1. About 70% of the time after signing in, I get a dialogue box that reads " Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close." I eventually log on after an attempt or two.
2. Pages sometimes freeze for up to 15-20 minutes before a new page finally opens up.
3. About once a week, I get the smaller bubble that reads that I am running low on virtual memory.
4. Pages do not usually close when clicking on the "X" in the left corner.
I recently signed into www.double my speed.com for a scan. The scan detected 837 errors of various sorts.I spent nearly three hours speaking to one of their techs from India who took over my computer ostensibly to diagnose the problem. He eventually determined that the $40 annual "fix it" option would not work because I have " very, very bad things" on my computer that needed my immediate attention. He showed me the page with all my errors, and took me to google which explains them. He said I was a victim of hacking. He took me to a page where I was going to get immediate help. Of course, all this help was going to cost $250 for the package. I hung up and disconnected.I am very un savvy when it comes to computers, but I seriously doubt I need to spend $250 to take care of these problems.I would greatly appreciate the simplest and/or least expensive way to get rid of these problems.I should add that my Norton anti-virus only detects low risk tracking cookies every week, and nothing else.I performed a sweep of these cookies today and got rid of them , but this did not speed things up or eliminate errors.
I have a question about Microsoft Configuration. First off, it's not there. I go to start > run > msconfig and get this: Quote: Windows cannot find Microsoft Configuration. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. I search for it and I find it, but run won't find it.I don't really want to have to put a shortcut to it on the desktop because my friends are idiots.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAt approx. 6:30 pm yesterday, I realized suddenly, my system had become infected with something ... I now once again keep getting those "Only the Best" darn things popping up. (I've been through this before a year ago. it was much worse then had to completely overhaul the entire hard drive)Well, anyhow, what I tried to do this time is simply creat a restore point and revert back to that. Surprisingly, that did not eradicate the presence of this pop-up thing; I'm sure the restore point predates the pop-up reappearance.
