Root - Windows 7 directories

We just installed a game called World of Warcraft, where we played for 3 years. We need to install addons, we downloaded the addons but cannot find directory root in the files that we have done with windows xp.

Hi Lonyn,

Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum
 
If you have installed Windows Vista or Windows 7, you must make sure that the game World of Warcraft folder is secure. To do this, go to your computer in the start menu and go to C:\. From there go to Windows.Old and go to executable files in there (Note, for Windows Vista, or Windows 7 users folder wow * may * have been moved to C:\Users\Public\) If your World of Warcraft folder is intact.
 
Once you retrieve the file from the link game double click on it. After that, add your World of Warcraft folder in your C:\Program Files. Once this is done go to your World of Warcraft folder, create a shortcut and place it on your desktop.

  • Root Windows satellite 5200 701 system32/hal.dll missing

    My Toshiba s5200 701 crashed today.

    Windows displays this error:

    + windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows root system32 / hal.dll +.
    + Please re install. +

    First of all, this Toshiba is a European model and I live in the USA.
    Second, the model is old.
    Third, I don't have the XP CD reinstal the OS.

    I don't know if it's worth buying a new professional XP for this computer.

    All ideas, suggestions. Please notify.

    Hello

    I read on issues such as
    You need to reinstall the OS, but it would also be possible that this error is related to the defective HARD and/or RAM disk.
    Many uses had this error again after the new installation of the OS and in individual cases the RAM or the HARD drive has been affected as well.

    What to say; It s your decision what you want to do... I recommend reinstall Win XP once more to verify if this question relates only to lack hal.dll in the system32 folder.
    However the Win XP license is cheap, because Win 7 is on the market and no one wants to use 'old' OS which will be more in the coming years...

    I get the message "Windows cannot start because the following file is missing or corrupt" \system32\hal.dll. It is a Dell computer running windows XP that came preloaded on the Dell. I've been running this computer for years before, without this problem. Can anyone help?

    If the computer is not currently bootable,

    Then, you will need to borrow an xp installation cd to start the computer and run some commands through the function of the CD recovery console.

    Another option, to remove the hard drive and install it as a slave on a functional computer disk.   then use this functional computer and the o.s. to fix the problem on this slave drive.

    Another option is to see if dell experts have a different methodology to fix the error.

    WINDOWS COULD NOT FIND START BECAUSE THE FILE IS MISSING OR DAMAGED
    WINDOWS ROOT>\SYSTEM32\hal.dll

    This message is rather misleading.  It happens because the boot.ini file that tells where to look for 'Windows' boot is damaged, so it is looking for the files in the right place - hal.dll is be the first person he's looking for. Set the BIOS to boot CD before the hard drive.  Start the XP CD and at the installation site, take the immediate R for repair.  Assume that any requested password is empty.

    At the command prompt, type:

    H r s C:\boot.ini attrib [press Enter]
    DEL C:\boot.ini [press Enter] [to remove the bad]
    BootCfg /Rebuild [press Enter] [to search an installations of Windows, and make a new one]

    Remove the XP CD and hopefully restart Windows. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • high Windows Cup Director of video

    I can't think of anyone who uses Windows Movie Maker(for XP) more than me, but, here goes nothing.
    I've been shooting videos (pictures, videos, combined) for yearssss and usually I can always understand the question, but it left me speechless.
    I'm combining different video clips in a video, and as I said, I do it ALL the time. So I did the same way, I've always done, downloaded files in the same way, recorded the video (high quality wide) in the same way, but then when I looked at the file recorded (outside MovieMaker) he had cut the top. Type of the video one form of panorama with black filling half higher, but also cut of half of the video image.
    I tried to save in many times (& ways) and restarted my computer and tried again. I also tried with an older file that was downloaded on MovieMaker a few weeks ago (which worked well then) and he has also recorded the same way.
    Please help me!
