XGhozt 410 Posted May 29, 2006 Unless you have a backup of that file, your coimputer will slowly start to die. You need to re-install windows on a second drive petition and then copy your files over, the ones you know are not bad, to the new windows. You do have the disk right.. Share this post Link to post
Senior Airman Vudoo. 40 Posted May 29, 2006 sorry but you have to reformat Share this post Link to post

MysticViper 0 Posted May 29, 2006 Lol.. Tell me Midnight_Killa. Did u look at porn and downloaded something? or did u just download something from another person u didnt know? Next time have a lot of secruity like me. That way u don't have to keep getting new hardrives like me. Same thing happened to me when i downloaded some SC hack from some website. Since i got a 1 year warranty, i got free hardrive everytime my computer broke. Maybe next time u should ask a computer dude to copy ur hardrive so then next time if it happens again. You can just slip in the hardrive and BAM u can go play again. ( I don't know if its the hardrive but its something u replace that has all ur stuff and files. ) Share this post Link to post

His computer won't even start up. It is basically an API between software and a virtual layer that talks to your hardware. Without it, you're screwed. The best route to save your computer and data would be to take your hard drive out and put it into a nother computer as a slave drive. Then, copy hal.dll from the master drive tot eh slave drive. Replace your hard drive and boot up. Share this post Link to post
