  Cannot find \Windows\System32\hal.dll

  XP pro upgrade, not product complete

  It comes to the hardware layer for Extraction (HAL) DLL.  Look for a copy in % systemroot%\ServicePackFiles.  If it is not in this directory, you probably have not installed the latest Service Pack.  If this isn't the case for updating hal.dll, install Service Pack 3 now the CD-ROM (see below), not Windows Update in order to run the (SFC) System File Checker utility in the future.  If she is in... \ServicePackFiles, recopy the % systemroot%\system32.  You need to be in safe mode to copy this file.  Do not copy from %systemroot%\$NTServicePackUninstall$ if it is there.

  If you have already installed Service Pack 3, since an administrator account, try the following in a "cmd" window ( -R,cmd):

  Letter
  %Systemroot%\ServicePackFiles CD
  Expand sp3.cab - %systemroot%\system32\: Fhal.dll

  If all else fails, you can run the utility auditor of file system (CFS) to try to restore the missing files.  From an administrator account, type:

  -R, sfc/scannow

  SFC calls for, first of all, your installation media, and then later the service pack CD-ROM.  If SFC wants to replace the files, leave.  If the SFC rejects your Service Pack CD-ROM, read the KB900910 Microsoft Knowledge base article.  Note that this article applies to SP2, but is also applicable to the SP3.  Just use your common sense and use SP3 where the article refers to SP2.

  If you don't have a CD-ROM Service Pack 3, or order it (U.S. / Canada , Europe, Africa , Asia or South America ) from Microsoft or download the ISO (here ) and burn it.  Be sure to Select the appropriate language if you download ISO.  Note, I recommend that you install Service Pack 3 on a CD-ROM, rather than through Windows Update so that youpouvez use SFC with success!

• cannot access windows\system32\config\system file to retrieve

  Hi all, my problem was a common originally, my XP computer would not start as it says that the file \windows\system32\config\system is damaged or missing. I tried the 3 steps to recovery according to the instructions, but already in the first stage, I had the following problem: I could not copy the SYSTEM TMP file, it does not, and I get a message that the file is not accessible, even if I can see it in the CONFIG DIR. Nor could then delete the file, I get the message "the falied to delete operation. So as a result, I can't open the CONFIG folder to be able to put the "new" SYSTEM repair file Then of course as a result I can't go to step 2 (safe mode) because I keep getting the error about the missing or damaged file SYSTEM.

  So in summary: I can see the SYSTEM file in the config folder, dated a few days ago. But I can't make them disappear to put in the place of repair file SYSTEM safe mode and access.

  Does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you

  I see.

  All too well since KB307545 normally should be attempted If chkdsk /r does not solve the problem.
  I'll look into your question. But in the meantime, boot from the CD and rerun the Recovery Console. When you get the C:\ prompt, type the following
  Chkdsk /r
  then press the Enter key (there is a space before the slash).
  You may find that chkdsk /r is all you need to do to fix your problem. Let us know!

• Cannot remove Windows XP Dual Boot with Windows 7 (partition logic-bootable) (main System Partition)

  When I put XP and 7 dual boot I them created on a drive with 2 partitions.  I don't have Windows XP and need space for windows 7 so I followed the instructions to remove it.  I used the Windows 7 disc in repair mode via Diskpart to delete the XP partition and (after release) change the master boot record to Windows 7 using Bootrec/fixmbr and /fixboot.  I then tried to activate Windows 7 new in Diskpart but received the error message:

  The VIRTUAL DISK SERVICE ERROR - the specified partition is invalid for this operation.

  It's because I had configured Windows 7 in an extended as a logical disk partition.

  I had to restore from the image I had taken and copy backup my data files.  However this left me with the following configuration:

  Primary partition

  C: Windows XP - local disk, system, Page File Active, primary

  Extended partition

  G: Windows 7 - Local, Boot, Crash Dump, logical disk

  D: programs - Local, logical disk

  Files - Local, logical disk E:

  Photos - Local, logical disk F:

  I have EaseUS Partition Master which apparently allows me to convert drive G of elementary logic.  However he would not only because it is noted as boot drive.

  How to convert G to a logical disk in a primary partition so that I can activate it?

  You should now see the number of Windows Installations that have been identified
  For a tripple boot computer, after that XP has been removed you will see the number 2 (the 2 other Windows 7/Vista

• Cannot remove Windows Media Player 12 library

  I want to remove the entire library in Windows Media Player 12 (running Windows 7) so I can start over with a new database. With previous versions of WMP, it was simple - I get the Media Player folder in the Local environment and remove all files (leaving the files). Now when I try to do it I get the message "cannot complete this action because the file is open in Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. Close the file and try again. "How can I do this?

  Hi red high Mahoney,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forums.

  Make sure that the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service network service or Windows Media Connect does not work as follows:

  1. click on start and then click on run
  2. in the run box, type services.msc
  3. in Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or Windows Media Connect (WMC) and then verify that the status column is started
  4. double-click on the service and click on the Stop button, change the type to disabled startup
  5 restart the computer.

  To reactivate the function repeat the above process, by clicking on the Start button instead of the stop and change the type of startup to automatic.

  Now try to delete libraries.

• Cannot remove windows xp

  Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

  To reformat the hard drive of your computer and reinstall Windows, restart your computer using the Windows installation disc (this is commonly known as booting from the installation disc). During the installation process, you can repartition and reformat your hard disk and then reinstall Windows. The process will erase your files and programs, so remember to make backups of your data files and the program before you start. For more information, search Windows Help and Support "installation and reinstalling Windows."

• Should I remove Windows XP machine UStorsrv.exe?

  Original title: OK now. Can I remove Windows/system32/UStorsrv.exe I asked how to find and great answers and point of view.

  What happened one day on my Gateway brand computer using XP Home Edition 32 bit, I tried the site of coupons for store coupons and found a UStorserv.exe trying to connect to the Internet from my computer, and I went looking for it when I found it, this UServerv.exe had a phone icon.  I found it here on my Gateway computer and somehow mangaed to remove and never see him again. But below in my first question, responses seem to say that this is not a malicious software program.  At the UStorserv.exe that appears with the phone icon when I went to use the coupons, com, after visiting the web site of Safeway grocery store same as described below.

  My original question:

  I use the award-winning McAfee anti / protection against computer viruses. Recently, I did a full scan of the computer and chose the custom level to make sure that I hit the specific files or any file not being left behind.  When I went to view the report he read that the C:\Windows\system32\UStorsrv.exe could not conecting Internet under "Oti Content Service.  Don't forget to remove the UStorSrv.exe once before from another computer, I can't seem to find on Dell Windows XP desktop computer.  Do you think that he is a ghost of McAfee reading, or this really UStorSrv.exe exisits?  I want to find, and a search of the files produce no result, although hidden files were not analyzed in the research

• How do I remove Windows 7 mspaint, so I install windowsxp paint?

  The details are contained in the question.

  You cannot remove Windows 7 paint (except maybe to delete the file, but I don't recommend that).  However, you can copy the mspaint.exe in Windows XP on your Windows 7 computer and run it from there.  I copied just mspaint.exe on my Windows 7 Desktop and he ran, and of course it worked very well.

  Hi DadVQ,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  This problem occurs because of a missing or corrupted Rundll32.exe file. This problem can also be caused by a virus.

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: Follow the steps mentioned in the article below and check if the problem still persists.

  Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/812340

   

  Method 2: If the problem persists, I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

• Cannot run most of the programs in Control Panel because it says that I don't have \WINDOWS\system32\rundll.exe'. on my hard drive

  I recently installed sp3 on my computor he had sp2 now when I access panel, I can't run any programs like display or add or remove programs or internet con. I tried the system restore but it will not go forward or backward I always got the error this file \WIndows\system32\rundll32.exe'. is not on the hard drive that I can reistall sp 2 with sp3 hope somone can help thanks lindell wood

  If you have installed SP3 and now the file is missing, the opinion of the Support Engineer Microsoft won't help you unless you have a genuine XP installation CD also is Service Pack 3.

  That's extremely unlikely, unless you did it yourself and some people have never seen a real installation of XP bootable CD in their life then, how is this will help...  But, this is a link to a Microsoft KB article.

  When you try to open a control panel applet, you see a message like this:

  Control Panel
  Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe '.  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.

  If the file is actually missing, it was probably quarantined (actually deleted) programmatically your antivirus or anti-malware not specified that you use.

  You might want to reconsider anything not stated antivirus or antimalware you programs use and whether or not they are effective to protect your system.

  You can look in the c:\windows\system32 folder and see if the file is actually missing or not, but you should replace it somehow.

  I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

  You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

  c:\Windows\System32
  c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

  Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
  http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

  When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

  You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called rundll32 when the name of the file should really be called rundll32.exe (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

  You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

  That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

  I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.

  Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/

  Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.

  Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.
