the file <windows root>/system32/hal.dll.

the windows XP disk but i dont know what command to type
in.

Do a "Repair Install" as described at:

http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm

When the page opens, scroll down and click on: How To Run A Repair
Install. There is a step by step walk through including images. Your
software, settings, data files etc. are retained.

Windows XP Repair Installs have save me a few times...
