Hi,
I am having a Dell laptop running with Windows XP Home edition with service pack 3. Since last two days whenever I boot the laptop, before desktop appears I use to get the following error message:
“<something>/system32/hal.dll is either missing or corrupt.”
When I checked the file size it is exactly the same as in previous backup. So do you guys think the file is corrupted? As per troubleshooting, I already tried running "sfc /scannow" thinking it will fix the system files but no success.
I wanted to know few more things regarding this as is hal.dll within one of the cabinets under I386? How do I determine the location of hal.dll? Is there a search command for hal.dll?
Somebody please help me out to get rid of this error. Many Thanks.
