hey alltogether,

I've got a problem with my second PC. This morning when shutting down I got
the message that there's a severe sytem error. Nothing worked anymore. I
managed to shut it down but when I tried to boot again it started to show me
this message :

Windows couldn't be started, the following file's missing or is damaged.
<windows root>system32\hal.dll.
Install a new version of the file.

Could anybody tell me how to install it when Windows doesn't work at all.
thank you very much!

in addition to the advice you already got...
you may also want to run a RAM check
