Registry Trouble NEED HELP!!!!!

Hey i have a big registry problem it is causing my computer to crash sometimes it says


<windows root>\system32\hal.dll. is corrupted or missing please reinstall

k i have no idea how to reinstall the damn thing and my computer wont let me boot to cd so i can't even reformat or reinstall windows

also everytime i restart my computer it never restarts properly it will go to the xp loading screen it would appaer to load properly then it will reboot and this will repeat it self like 3 to four times before i can get into windows sometimes more times then when i finaly get into windows i get prompted that file

fldrclnr.dll is missing

this is driving me crazy i been up like all night trying to figure this out and i don't want to go through the pain of reformating

does anyone know of a free program that fixes registry errors and not just scans for it them and then ask's for your credit card to fix the errors. i hate that

please i know this might sound confuseing but it is the only way i know to explain it. so i am begging the people of afterdawn PLEASE HELP!!!

The link goes to a download section that contains the file you're missing.

 

try ..highjack this
your virse scan probably crashed
do you have norton by chance?

 

HAL.DLL MISSING OR CORRUPT ERROR MESSAGE
If you get an error regarding a missing or corrupt hal.dll file, it might simply be the BOOT.INI file on the root of the C: drive that is misconfigured

Here's what to do:

Insert and boot from your WindowsXP CD.
At the first R=Repair option, press the R key
Press the number that corresponds to the correct location for the installation of Windows you want to repair.
Typically this will be #1
Type bootcfg /list to show the current entries in the BOOT.INI file
Type bootcfg /rebuild to repair it
Take out the CD ROM and type exit


fldrclnr.dll

This is your Desktop cleanup Wizard. Look in C:\windows\system32 and see if this file exists there. If not look in your i386 folder and copy from there.

 

Thank you for all your suggestions sorry it took so long to reply i ended up refotmating and i bought a copy of registry mechanic
