<Windows root>system32hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Computer became infected with several viruses and now I can't boot up into Windows XP from its original installation on the C partition of my hard drive. It gets to the screen where you sign in and then only the background of the desktop screen appears and it stalls out there.
I can't figure out how to create a current log of the registry file on my C drive with the "Hihackthis" software - I can only get a log of the scan of my D drive registry. I am able to access files on the C partition of my hard drive.
When I push the button to turn on the computer it lights up and makes a few slight noises as if it is going to boot and then it stalls. Nothing happens. I then turn it off manually and try again. first thing I get is a black screen with an Energy Star logo in the top right hand corner, and Phoenix-Award BIOS v6 .00PG on the left. Then a page of information about cache size, System BIOS shadow status etc. I have to press F2 to continue.
Then I am taken to another black screen which is asking me to select the operating system.
If I press ENTER (or even if I don't after a few seconds) it will then start loading Windows.
I just installed Windows XP Professional.
When I go to START menu. There is no RUN dialog command to activate. Where can I find it manually?
I have a Win2k installation that I had to "repair". I'm trying to upgrade to XP on this disk to preserve settings but XP Upgrade disk thinks I have an evaluation copy (not so - repaired 2000 from full version sp4 CD bought from Staples years ago). I run winver.exe and it confirms a licensed copy of 2000 and not an evaluation copy. I'm not sure exactly what brought this 2000 system to a halt. I've been trying to fix it on and off for two weeks now after I installed some polaroid digital camcorder software and everything went south. I have an MSI 865PE Neo2 MB and I'm not sure exactly what happened but I lost 3 gb of 'data' on this Western Digital 80gb harddrive suddenly without having any known viruses/trojans or HD problems. Diagnostics ran and run clean. Lost all network connectivity, USB
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an old compaq computer with windows 2000 pro on it. Is there a way to prevent the password log on box from appearing at start up? This was an old computer that was used in a business and they all had passwords. It just comes up and says user is administrator and password is blank. If I hit enter it keeps going into windows. Thanks for any suggestions. I know how to do it in windows 98 and xp.

I tried to install IIS Manager from my CD following these steps:
1. Place the Windows XP Professional CD-Rom into your CD-Rom Drive.If the Windows XP installation window pops up just EXIT.
2. Go to 'Add/Remove Windows Components' found in 'Add/Remove Programs' in the 'Control Panel'.
3. Place a tick in the check box for 'Internet Information Services (IIS)' leaving all the default installation settings intact.
Even after this I am not able to install IIS Manager.
Recently I was working on my brothers pc when I encountered some serious explorer.exe problems. After trying various workarounds with no sucess I ended up doing a repair install (was xp prof sp2). It fixed the explorer.exe problems, but now I have an even bigger headache on my hands.I cannot run Windows Update or IE, although I did download SP3 from download.com. I cannot install it though because it says it needs SP1. I tried installing SP1a, but it says it cannot verify update.inf and to turn on my Cryptographic services. When I try to turn that on, services wont open and produces an error message that says "MMC failed to intialize because it was installed incorrectly or because a portion of the registry has become corrupted. Make sure the file Mmcndmgr.dll is registered by running 'regsvr32 %SystemRoot%system32mmcndmgr.dll'. I try that it says that "Loadlibrary failed - the specific procedure could not be found." Oh, and I am constantly getting an error message which says "the procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll".
Im installing a brand new pc and I just downloaded all the latest fixes and patches for the OS and the Browser.except one, KB890923. Everytime I try to launch through Windows Update it says it cant do it. SO I attempted to download and run it manually and it states that the program is not a valid Win32 application.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAm I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.

I have reset my activex controls, ran AVG and Adaware. Nothing comes up. My ISP is wmconnect which just recently changed to Netscape connect. they have no technical support for this problem. If anyone has any ideas. My OS is Windows 2000 Pro.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with Windows 2000 Pro on it and I wanted to upgrade it to Windows XP Pro using an unused Windows XP Pro CD/license (Version 2002, it says) I have. However, when I stuck in the CD and selected "Install XP Pro," it told me "Windows XP Setup does not support upgrading from Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional to Microsoft Windows XP Professional."
So it will only let me do a clean install. Is this because I have an OEM CD meant for a new computer? I thought you could upgrade (rather than re-install) to XP from any genuine XP CD?
I am considering upgrading from Microsoft 2000 Pro to XP Pro.

applies to windows 2000 though. Im running windows xp home SP2 and im not sure how to fix the problem.
I'm going to upgrade from 2000 to XP w/SP3 and was wondering about "backing up files". I don't really have much, but I'm mostly concerned about program files (I can't remember which ones I've installed myself)...
I'm also considering "unpartitioning" and starting over because I bought the pc "used" and it has partitions all over the place.
I need to upgrade over 200 PC from 2000 to XP. Some are desktops and some are laptops. I need to do it with very little input from the users. I was thinking of using a email sent out that would ask them to do it at lunch or other sometime. I figure that it will take at least an hour to do the install etc, with no error. I plan on a test group to start with before I roll it out company wide.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an HP Lap top with Windows 2000 Pro on it. When booting up, the computer will go through all its normal start-up procedures. When it comes time for the Username/Password, I put them in, I hear the wave sound for windows loading, and then it freezes! The hour glass cursor remains on the screen and moves, only NOTHING happens from there on.
However,I can get it to boot normally after this by shutting it down.... then going into the Bios Set-up screen.....Change NOTHING & simply exit out of the Bios Set-up......THEN it will start normally and bring up the Desktop! BUT....if I shut it down again, It will freeze right after the Log-in just like before. Im tired of always having to go into the Bios to get this darn thing to work
The daylight saving i try to install the manual updates and i found the microsoft web side but i cant under stand what is the "windows resource kit" is i am new to the job so.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with Windows 2000. For some reason it won't load up. It gets to the login and loading prefrerences boxes, but after that there's just a blue screen. I've tried booting in safe mode. That just leads me to a black screen with "safe mode" in the four corners. I tried booting in the last known good configuration and it goes through the same process only now a message pops up in symbols. Also, when I hit [ctrl][alt][delete] everything is clickable except for task manager. That was also the case the last time I was in windows. I have absolutely no Idea what to do.

This went on for a while until last week when l turned on my computer it was opening at the speed of a snail, maybe slower.today when l turned the computer on it was starting real slow until the screen said it was checking my password and then stopped cold. Now it doesn't do anything but say IBM Thinkpad.I bought my laptop on ebay from an IBM reseller who preinstalled the windows 2000 and on the bottom of my computer is a COA from microsoft. If l had the disk l would try and reinstall the program but l do not.I forgot the name of the reseller and they we fantastic to do business with. They helped whenever l had a question and always told me if there was ever aproblem l should just send it back and they would correct it. In fact they are in Atlanta and l had my computer there and l had a problem with the dvd player and when l told them where l was they said come right over and they will get it going. p.s. my son fixed it and l never went over.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to upgrade operating systems and I'm getting the message "Incompatible Hard Disk Controller. Setup does not have a driver for a hard disk controller. To continue setup, you need the correct Windows 2000 compatible driver disk." The problem seems to be with my Intel 82371AB/EB IDE controller. Does anyone know if a Windows 2000 driver exists for this and, if, so, where I can get it? Iv'e scoured the Web to no avail.
