Hey, I was hoping someone out there could help me. I just got a used
computer for my parents over the weekend. The system is a Dell and it has
Windows XP on it.I tried it a couple of times with no problems. Now what
seems to be happening is there is a system failure that keeps coming up
everytime she tries to turn it on. The meesage it is saying is something
like file is missing and the missing file it says is windows
root/system32/hal.dell. Has anyone seen this before and/or know how to
correct this? Any feedback on this would be greatful
 
If you tried it and ran,get to the desktop,install xp cd,exit the info
page,then
go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:Sfc /Scannow When the graph is thru,
type:CHKDSK C: /F Agree to restart,then type:EXIT Restart computer,remove
cd.
