Computers & Internet - 30 September 2007

Okay so I restarted my computer this morning and, I got an error saying "Windows cannot start because a file is missing or corrupted."
and it said to download a copy of the file
\system32\hal.dll

and I tried restarting my computer about 10 times.
I keep getting the same thing over and over again.
Can Anyone help?
It'll be greatly appreciated. :)

Is it possible to backup files when we can't access or open our system? I think i should rephrase that so here it goes, my XP has issues on hal.dll and system\32\config\system and my pc can't load XP.. Now is it possible for me to back up my files even if i can't access my drive C and D on my OS before repairing or reinstalling my Windows XP? thanks in advance..xoxo.

I have heard that the speeds of 478 pin processors differ from those of 775 pin processors. Will a PC with 478 pin 3.4 or 3.2 GHz processor with 1.2GB RAM be able to support Vista Ultimate and Office 2007? Will it deliver as good performance? Also, what amount of L2 ( 1MB or 2MB ) cache is needed for optimum performance? Please explain with links.

Thanx in advance!

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING.Alright i have a computer called compac presario and i've had it since like 2000. I use internet explorer/at&t. Lately my computer has been acting slow. for example, when i turn it on and it gets tothe main screen i try to open windows explorer and it does something weird. I stays on a blank screen like it's loading for like 10 mins. It didn't use to do this so i guess i downloaded something bad. To speed up the loading screen i have to double click once on the little box thing at the bottom of the screen that shows what is opened. and then it loads but that takes like 1 min and a half. This isn't the only thing that takes long to open but it takes the longsest. I downloaded the free version of avg and did a full scan that took 1hr and 45 mins. This found two things called trojan horses and deleted both of them. But my computer still acts slow. Can someone please tell me how to remove all the trojans,viruses,adware spyware and all that stuff that messes it up fre

I am running windows XP home on a AMD processor that is comparable to Pentium 4.

When I start my computer it shows nothing on the screen and makes a sound with three quick beeps followed by two shorter and deeper beeps.

Sounds like this

beep-beep-beep--------dooooooooodoooo

What do I do?!

We got a new windows vista, and, (this has nothing to do with my question, but), DO NOT buy it. Worst system ever, when its not freezing every 5 minutes trying to protect itself, its throwing free trials that you don't want right onto your desktop. Anyway, about importing. We have a olympus Camedia 3.2 megapixel camera, and a plug-in cord for it. You plug it in, and, up until today, a nice little screen comes up asking you what you want to do. Today, I plugged it in, and nothing. We have a 51-in-1 adapter as well, so I tryed that and still nothing. One last time, I plugged it into the printer, and, big surprise, nothing. I tried another type of chip, and that doesn't work, either. Please help!

Ok.. First thing that happened was the blue screen appeared saying something about hardware and stuff.. then when i restarted it, a message something like this appeared:

"Corrupt or missing:
\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup cd-rom
Select "r" at the 1st screen to start repair."

And when I restarted it again the Windows XP load screen appeared but didn't load.. What will i do??

I mean seriously, microsoft had over 5 years to develop vista and this is the crap they released. Vista is like the works OS EVER. What were they doing in those 5 years? Everyone should demand a refund!
