HELP! HAL.DLL CORRUPT

Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
:p

Sorry couldn't help my self :)
You can download it from here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?hal
Copy it onto a CD or somewhere easy to find on the HDD. The go into recovery mode and through just copy the file to the system32 directory.

Good luck!
