Re: Unable to Access Data from User Accounts after a System Recove

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

OK....primal sceam, part 2:

Did a complete format, no problems. Re-installed windowsXP, no problems.
Re-installed pctools spyware doctor and firewall (includes virus protection),
no problems. Got evrything the way I like it--then did a re-boot after
Registry Mechanic installed and updated and got this:

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.

HELP!!!
