cannot set a MS update error __windows system screw root 32\hal.dll responding done admin password not respond__see notes below

I have a pc running windows XP sp2 which has been disconnected from the network for a year. I started using it last week, of course, he went to get 100 MS updates updates automatically. then it crashed and was an error of windows root system 32\hal.dll. I tried to use the repair console utility as described on the website. When I get to the admin password prompt (that there is no) and press enter (by default), it does not work. I then ran 2 against crackers of password for the pc that also come with this being so. at this point, I am at a loss if I can't get the Admin password that I can't run the repair utility to fix this error? I then decided to clean the disc and reload the XP and loosing all data. I can't find a way to (fdisk) or wipe the OS of the PC to reload the operating system of the software I have...

Someone save me before chuck this thing and buy a MAC

try and solve this problem,
In order to format the drive, you will need your XP cd or recovery media supplied with your PC.  There are also third-party utilities you can start with and format your drive.  However, if you have the XP cd, you can remove the drive partition, recreate the partition, and then format the drive during the installation phase.

Hope that helps. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    tgwright,

    Thanks for the additional info. With the doctor print and scan does not locate a corrupted software/driver problems its time to turn to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar problems with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key, the origin of the problem:
    http://goo.GL/t94JG

    Beware these solutions indicate the change of information in registry (very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing). If you are not familiar with the registry or have never been here before that I would suggest seeking additional support in some way (local / Microsoft IT / PC repair service, etc.).

    Good luck!

  • Is it possible possible to recover my data from my drive hard after receipt of this error message is the reference to hal.dll

    This error message is on a Windows XP Home Edition.

    «Windows has not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows root\system32\hal.dll»

    This occurred after the use of the Norton Symantec solution to get rid of malware Tidserv activity.  After trying to restart my computer after the removal of the malware, assuming she was kidnapped, I got this error message.  I had backed up my important files on an external hard drive some time ago, but I still want to recover from this if possible.  It is an old Dell Dimension 3000 series and I don't have the CD that came with that installation.

    Thank you

    You could use another method to start your computer (like a Knoppix/Ubuntu or Hiren boot CD) and copy them to your personal data to an external device, you can move/slave your HARD drive to another system and see if you can copy the data off that way.

    This could work, but for me this looks like a lot of trouble and I only take it only after having exhausted all other methods of fixing what you have.

    Assuming you want to fix what you have (or at least make an effort to do so)...

    Despite what the message said, interpret it as meaning that XP just cannot find the file or XP is told to find the file in the right place.  This means not the file is missing or damaged - XP just cannot find it.

    There are two things to do that don't require to have an installation CD:

    run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console
    you rebuild the file c:\boot.ini from the XP Recovery Console

    Start with the chkdsk command, and here's how:

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Fortunately, not all is lost here for you. You have several options. You will need to create a CD of the utility. (1), you can boot from a usb flash drive and run utility Cd or 2) you can buy a removable usb device cd rom and there. It's the best option, but instructions differ radically, so I need to know which is your choice of boot options to help you. You won't have a windows disk to perform the procedure.

  • Cannot set the default printer. error 0 X 00000709

    Hi all

    Cannot set any printer as the default printer. An error message appears, error 0 X 00000709. I have tried to use a guide on the Forums, on the Windows system registry, still does not work. And I couldn't print anything using the PDF, but Words of Microsoft Excel and Notepad are able to print. In addition "format the hard drive, create a user and Fix a user profile is corrupted", is there a solution? Help will be very appreciated.

    Thank you

    Aaron Kwan

    Hi Aaron,

    I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

    What is the brand and model of the printer?

    This problem can occur if the wires that are not connected correctly, due to corruption drivers, drivers incompatible, if print spooler service is not started, because of problems with the printer and the printer, missing updates settings.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to run the fixit and check if it helps.

    Diagnose and automatically fix problems printing and printer
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/printing_problems/

     

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check.

    Disable the antivirus software.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

     

    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

    I was trying to stop some HP programs to start when I start my desktop computer. I did the following: start > run > msconfig.  Click on startup and unchecked HP four applications. Restarted my desktop computer and immediately had a black screen with the following message:

    A1. Wise move IMHO. The computer seems "snappier" now?

    A2. I can't imagine that another owner of a Dimension 8400 (or 4800?) has not encountered this problem before.

    In fact, there is something else you may need to do: it turns out that KB2607712 is replaced by the KB2616676 in Vista & Win7; Windows XP needs to have both installed [despite the mention you referred in your post on September 14, above] !!!

    => So if Update for Windows XP (KB2607712) is NOT listed in Add/Remove Programs, you will need to manually download/install a revised version [long story, involved - you don't want to know]:

    1. open Internet Explorer to http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27244 & click on the button CONTINUE.

    2. after VALIDATION, download the installer for KB2607712 & save it to your desktop - NOT run again!

    3. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    The printer works fine for varous computers, running Windows 7, but the absence of password Admin me concerned for possible piracy. However, the wireless network to which it is connected has encryption. Puts the printer password Admni an important step to strengthen the security of the network and printers? If so, how this is done?

    Hello pauledinger ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you have some concerns about the Admin password.

    The Admin password actually has nothing to do with access to the printer.  It would be a network password.  The Admin password would be for administrative rights on the computer and what you access on this computer.

    Hope this sheds some light for you.

    See you soon,.
