Win_root System32 Hal.dll missing or corrupt
Had a dandy today. A client called saying that their computer would no longer boot. When I asked them if there was any kind of error message, they read me the following: Win_root\System32\Hal.dll missing or corrupt: Please re-install a copy of the above file. Sounds serious, huh?

Repair TCP/IP Stack in Windows Vista
You had a virus, drive corruption, or some other OS altering situation. But, being the hero you are, you resolved it and your PC is up and running again. That is, until you try to access the internet or some other network resource. The computer sits there trying to access that web page but nothing is happening... (Much like a MAC and its "spinning wheel of death"). First you check your network connection... Then check to see if you have obtained an IP address and other credentials. All … [Read more...]
