Had problems with my PC recently & have pinned it down to a corrupt file in windows.
My first thought was to run System Recovery which re-installed the laptop back to it's original settings. However the file is still corrupt as when I start the computer it offers to start XP Home Edition or Windows (default), & wont start XP as each time I try I get the same message.
'Windows could not start because the file below is missing or corrupt
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll'
The file is still there so it must be corrupted. It is 129 KB & a Application Extension.
Anyone any ideas
