My laptop crashed. Please help me repair it.
Before it crashed it gave me the virtual memory low screen. Now, it will only turn on to a dos screen that says:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.
Could you please let me know what to do. I have alot of information on this computer and if possible I would love to be able to keep the information.
Also, would Win 7 work to fix it? Or would I have to empty hard drives? Really would like to keep info.
Thanks for your help everyone!!!!
