Re: Missing system32\hal.dll

Are you sure you ran the repair utility correctly? When it deletes all the windows system files, copys clean ones back, reboots and sits there for about 45 mins reconfiguring the system?

Otherwise, try pressing F8 just before Windows Boots and choose the safe mode option.
