Hi Sissi77350,
· What is the model number of the computer?
You must have the Windows XP CD to perform one of the steps to start the computer.

C:\Windows\System32\***32.dll errors, from the start of the system and start the program.
Hey. I received error messages and may not know whats going on. At the start of my laptop (Vista Premium 64, 2.0 ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB hd), a series of error messages from reading: "* program title *-bad Image." C:\Windows\System32\*Dllname here*.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try to install the program using the origial installation media or contact your system administrator or support software provider. "The name of the cottage change programs and I get messages of 15 or more at the same time. The first so-called 'C:\windows\system32\fwcfg32.dll' error count, the next will say "khdtj9jg32.dll" and the final few say "dispex32.dll". Whenever I hit "ok" in the message, the name of the program window in the changes of the header. I tried to solve my problems (with no success) and do you have a file search for the files in the locations of scpecifed in error messages. I discovered the three files (fwcfg32.dll, khdtj9jg32.dll, dispex32.dll) do not exist in the system32 folder, but they do exist in the "syswow64" folder The system32 folder has files fwcfg.dll, khdtj9jg.dll and dispex.dll in if (note the "32" is not included in the file names). I was on my computer for 7 hours yesterday without problem, and everything I did was organize music files in my documents. I went online to look for something, then shortly after my computer slowed down upwards. He acted as if the RAM was complete (although he was not even 25% used), so I just rebooted my laptop in the hope that a RAM reset would fix it. Then restart I started to receiver messages error and also whenever I start a program. I scanned my system and removed 7 Trojan horses... even if I run Norton and Webroot SpySweeper somehow these got... that's not the point. I have a feeling easily, that played a helping hand to my troubles, and those who are deleted from my computer. Now, I have to recover from the disaster. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
P.S. ~ just like a note aside, I did several searches on the internet, including on the microsoft forums, for the names of 'fwcfg32.dll', 'khdtj9jg32.dll' and 'dispex32.dll'.dll files and got zero results.

I downloaded a virus on my computer that wouldn't let my computer startup message wasn't
system32\hal.dll Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged. I went into the recovery console and tried to repair the files what happened was now I can start only on my storage drive and it will stay running only for a few minutes and then the computer shuts down. At startup in the bios it is that one illustrious disc which is my small storage disk not the large drive box and not CD drive. A few days ago everything worked well today can't get to run long enough to fix it. Paul_652
What a mess!
Are you saying that the PC does not see the CD drive? Or that Windows could not see it?What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS to see if the CD drive is listed? If so, you can then change order of device for the start-up of the PC then it stops on the CD instead of the hard drive.Links for bootable CD:Software to burn a bootable CD from a .iso file:The drive being SATA Seagate, I wonder if you need to make a setting in the BIOS.I also wonder what will happen if you remove the Seagate and equip the Maxtor, then start with the disks to run RC. I still think that the Maxtor drive has an MBR on it!I think that your first course of action is to see if this CD player works or not (independent of WIndows). -
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?

Windows Vista does not start to change from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS
Hi, I spent a lot of time to look at this problem online. I can't find a lot of google search results and they seem to say enter REGEDIT and change the "msahci" start to 0 and even the 'pciide', or 'iaStorV' start parameters to 0. But this does not work for me. The loading Windows with the loading bar screen Green just continues to go wrong and never Windows startup. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Edition.
I saw someone in this forum with a similar problem but they have upgraded to Win7 on a new installation to fix the problem, they spend on AHCI RAID. I contacted Intel technical support and they said to try HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard. I contacted Intel because I installed a 520 Intel Solid State Drive series and wanted to know if they had a driver to get the benefit of the AHCI instead of the IDE. I know that a lot of people recommend a new installation of Windows, but I don't have a Windows cd with this computer (my computer is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00835809 )
I tried to install this Microsoft fix too. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/922976
I wonder if there is an AHCI driver, can I install it or what I can do to get the job of AHCI?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I suggested that you create disks because you said that the computer came with any one and you could not re - install Windows as suggested a possible solution. With these records, you can the recovery of the system back to a factory State. Since you want to install a SSD or change a BIOS setting, these are the changes which can damage the system and require the use of recovery disks.
If you want a Windows Vista 'clean' no HP Setup, please see Paul's response in this thread of the forum called "System Restore not working not not for HP Media Center Desktop PC. According to his instructions is expected to create a bootable Windows Vista installation disc. My only amendment to this method, is not to use the product key Microsoft Windows Vista on the COA on the side of your computer. Instead, I would like to "Save" the product key from factory OEM HP and HP OEM certificate using ' the Activation, backup and restore ' then 'restore' the certificate and the key to the new clean install of Vista. This will result in an installation clean factory activated that does not require Microsoft to activate. Be aware that the software HP added value will no longer be on your computer. If you want to use this software, you MUST create your personal HP recovery disks and copy the "SWSETUP" folder on your current installation of factory to an external support.
Re-install Windows Vista, as shown above with the SATA BIOS settings set on AHCI you like will work 100% of the time. It should also install to SSDs, where HP recovery discs are known to fail.

Missing or damaged"< root windows > \system32\hal.dll.
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.
