Where to find a good hal.dll ?

[Eman Resu]

Yeah, i forgot one more detail (in my previous thread 'How to get rid of a dual
boot screen') but it's a topic for itself.

By the first attempt to boot a nonexistent OS (automaticaly, after 30sec
timeout - which i didn't pay attention to) bios sent the message "hal.dll is
missing or corrupt, please reinstall".

Unfortunately I thought that was related to my C: installation , so went to
C:\windows\ServicePackFiles, copied hal.dll file(102 or 70kb can't rem.) and
pasted it to System32 (overwriting existing one (70 or 102kb)).

Since then my pc won't shutdown, but i'm getting "It's now safe to turn
off".

When i realized what i did, i tried to correct things with expanding hal.dll
file(99kb) from XP installation CD.

That didn't help, maybe because that CD is XP SP1 and i have upgraded XP to
SP2.

Why hal.dll file from ServicePackFiles doesn't suit the system?

How to get appropriate HAL ?


Thanks
p.s. I hope HAL cannot read this.

If you send me an email, I can email you back with the "hal.dll" file that is on my system. Otherwise you can try a Registry Edit to power off competly. You can also email me at mahdiislam2003@yahoo.co.uk if you want the .reg file to do it automatically.
