SAY THAT THE FILE IS DAMAGED

• When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file < root windows > \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing.

  file HAL.dll

  When I start my computer I get a message that says that the file \system32\hal.dll. is damaged or missing. Please reinstall a copy of the file. I have the original Windows XP CD and I tried to re - install, but it will not go beyond the implementation of window. I can't sign in to windows. How can I reintall this file?

  It's extremely likely that you will need to replace the hal.dll and since there are seven files on the XP installation CD that will extend into hal.dll, which would you choose?  It depends on your hardware, but it is extremely likely that the problem (did I already say that?).  I've never had to replace a file hal.dll for this problem.

  The real problem is most likely that XP just can not find the file because of a file system corruption or a file c:\boot.ini afflicted.

  For this error, I would always be first boot from the XP Recovery Console and sometimes run a chkdsk-r that will fix things right to the top.

  If the chkdsk /r is clean and you have the same problem, and then re-create your c:\boot.ini file but rename the old one first so you don't build on top of those afflicted - this tidbit is absent from MS KB article that assumes too.

  You can do all this in the XP Recovery Console, but do go through these methods in this article and see how you go.

  For example, method 1 will not work if your system does not start.  You may have more luck with other "methods".

  If that doesn't work, then I suggest to provide a little more information about your system:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

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

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a real installation CD bootable XP which is the same Service Pack as your installed Service Pack? (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

  Can someone help me please, I don't know how to use a computer I was googlen 4 days! When I opened my computer it always tells me that the file is damaged and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility... I searched my computer for "chkdsk utility" and can't find that. Help, please!

  From what you say, you are probably unable to start Windows.

  In this case, when you start the computer, keep tapping the key "F8" on the keyboard until the Advanced menu comes up. Then choose "Safe Mode".

  You will see something like your ordinary, here to enter office "chkdsk volume: /f" (replace with your hard drive volume, in most cases, it's 'c') at the command prompt.

• When I try to install SP1a, I get a message saying that the file is corrupted.

  Need help, Im confused

  OK, so I have windows XP I am trying to install on my acer aspire 5100. Its an old copy that came with another computer. All I'm trying to do is to clean the computer clean and start over. Installation was successful, but when I try to install SP1a I get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I can't connect to the internet of him because the surrent version doesn't support WPA2. So im downloading on an external HD and try to run it from my computer. When you try to install SP2, it says that the file is not a valid Win32 application. Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

  Again, your best option is to order a set of Acer recovery disks.

  If you insist on doing things the way hard, then check first that download, you have to SP2 (you don't need SP1a because it is part of the SP2) is correct - check the hash of the file downloaded against one published (where you downloaded of?)

  If the hash is correct and then try running SFC/scannow from a command prompt - it may work, depending on how the software manufacturer set up the drive, but it is preferable to use in conjunction with a good OS disc, rather than the recovery disk.

• My PC does not allow me to down load anything, that is to say that the files cannot be verified, and he also says that my certificate is not valid. does anyone have ideas, what it means

  I am trying the load Kaspersky Pure, but it says that the file cannot be verified

  I am trying the load Kaspersky Pure, but it says that the file cannot be verified

  Two questions for you:

  1. Please quote the exact verbatim of the message you get.

  2. you say "Download", but don't you mean "Download" or "install"? Don't miss the download or installation fails after you have successfully downloaded the file.

  Just in case you are confused as to what the words mean, please read the following:

  The word 'Download' means to copy a file (perhaps a program file, but not necessarily) from a server somewhere on the internet for your computer. Please invert not that Word with 'install', which means to load a program on your hard disk in a form from which it can be executed.

  Generally, you install a program from a CD, a floppy disk or on the internet. Only in the latter case, the internet, is there any download involved, but even then, it's a two step process: first download you from the internet, and then you install it.
