hal.dll issue with Windows XP media centre
Posted: Wed Jun 07, 2006 2:31 pmHi all,
Laptop recently decided to start playing up and now refuses to load Windows XP due to hal.dll being missing or corrupt.
While I understand it is relatively easy to fix with a recovery disk mine was only recently damaged and no longer works (typical on the timing)
My question is: am I able to load my laptop off of another pc via USB and then replace the hal.dll file with a copy of the one on the other computer?
I am trying to get another copy of the recovery disk from the manufacturer but that is sometimes like jumping through hoops.
Any advise would be most welcome.
