MISSING FILE OR CORRUPT SYSTEM 32 HAL.DLL FOR WINDOWS XP

XP WILL NO LONGER START, REQUESTS TO REINSTALL THIS FILE.

IT QUIT FOR NO REASON?

THIS COMPUTER SOFTWARE IS DONATED FROM MICROSOFT THRU
AN ADMINISTRATOR FOR NO PROFIT GROUPS. THEY HAVE THE
ONE AND ONLY DISK AND REQUIRES US TO TAKE THE UNIT TO THEM
FOR ANY SOFTWARE PROBLEMS.

IS THERE A WAY TO RE-INSTALL THIS FILE WITHOUT HAULING
THE COMPUTER ACROSS TOWN?

WE HAVE AN IDENTICAL UNIT WITH THE SAME SOFTWARE.

ANY INFO WOULD HELP AND THE POSSIBLE CAUSE

THANKS

JOHN

Hi John,

You will probably need to take it over, you can't simply copy the file from
another system. Read:
