Hi there,
Switched on my Dell Dimension 5000 yesterday and to my shock I ended up with part boot and a black screen with <windows root>\system32\hal.dll please re-install a copy of the above file.
Which, I thought, sounded straight forward .....
I cannot get away from this screen - I have been F2, F12, F8, and nothing. I have put the windows CD in the dvd drive and rebooted and nothing.
Can someone PLEASE help me before I go off my head ?
I have reviewed that other threads but everything I try keeps bringing me back to this screen.
HELP !!!
Kind regards
