Good morning, Today I tried to start my desktop (XP pro) and it told me I had a corrupt or missing hal.dll in the system32 directory. I tried to repair it with my install CD but for some reason it doesn't find my CD-rom. (Yes, I changed the start order in the bios). I can deal with this later. Is the hal.dll the same in my wife's XP home? If not, where can I easily find one? I think yesterday I deleted a weather desktop that I didn't like and it could have possibly deleted it too. Maybe it had something to do with those violent lightening storms we had yesterday. Please help! Thank you, Matt This is my laptop. --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
