Hal.dll error error message: here is the solution !

Thanks to endership for the procedure. For people who were getting the hal.dll missing file error message or for those who are wondering about the right way to install Windows XP SP2 with Bootcamp, here is the steps you have to follow.
1) First, get an original Windows XP SP2 cd and be sure that your CD is bootable and that you can access the recovery console in a repair function (not all the cds got the function, so be careful).
2)After, you go in Apple applications, utilities and you click on the boot camp assistant
3)If you got a Windows partition already created that is not working, resulting from a bad installation of Windows with bootcamp, just merge the two partitions (windows and mac os x) using the restore function.
4)Use 32 Go for Windows (default option) and be sure that your Windows cd is in the drive and launch the installation.
Computer will reboot in the installation program after that all the drivers has been loaded (the blue screen lasting about 5 minutes).
5)Once your are in the installation menu, just select the option that takes you to the repair console.
6)You will get a C: command line, sort of MS-DOS. Like mentionned enderfish, type "diskpart" to visualize the partitions created and be sure that the c: drive is labeled "bootcamp". Just return to repair console in the c: command line.
7)type the following command line:
FORMAT c: /Q /FS:NTFS
You will get a quick format of the c: drive in the NTFS file system. It will also probably work in FAT32, but I've never tried.
8)After that the format has been done, hit the POWER button to reboot.
9)You will be back in the installation menu; you'll also have to wait once again during 5 minutes for the drivers loading process.
10)Once you get in the installation blue screen, just choose the partition that has been created and choose to let the file system intact.
11)Windows XP will be copying install files on the HD, install Windows XP SP2.
12)Once, the installation is done and you entered in Windows (if you followed the instructions carefully), insert in the cd drive, the Leopard CD and install Windows drivers.
13)Reboot
14)Enjoy!

In my experience (because this happened to me), I found that it was a -user error- (mine). I reviewed Apple's instructions (which said to reformat the BOOTCAMP partition) and DELETED the BOOTCAMP "C:" partition (from within the XP installer) first. When you do this, it combines with partition with the "unused" 128MB partition that separates the Mac partition from "C:".
Apparently the 128MB partition really -is- used for something; probably to help redirect XP to the proper location to find hal.dll (which is why the file -even if repaired/replaced- continues to be reported as missing/corrupted). Even XP's automatic repair won't fix this issue (as it proceeds to copy -everything- anew and still fail upon reboot with the same error).
The answer seems to be "don't delete the C: partition". Instead, just select it, hit ENTER and, -in the next screen-, format the partition (Quick is OK). Everything proceeds properly at that point.
I just finished doing seven iMacs and tried quite a number of alternate solution (suggested here and elsewhere). The only thing that worked consistently was following Apple's directions!
By the way, once I got one Mac working properly (using FAT32 as I had only a 32GB partition and I wanted to have the PC partition appear on the Mac's Desktop if we booted into OSX), I imaged the partition and tried restoring it to another Mac on which I had only used BootCamp Assistant to partition the drive. Booting into XP produced the same hal.dll error. However, if I restored to a partition that had already had a successful XP installation done to it in the proper manner, this replacement of the partition's data with the image's data was successful. (I don't know why. I tried both a "master" image and a "compressed" image; only the compressed image worked and only as noted above.)
I'm not writing this to come off as a guru; rather, this is simply what ended up working for me and I thought others might benefit from knowing what mis-steps I took (and would then not follow in those mis-steps).

Broken image links on APEX 3.0 in Oracle 10g XE? Here's the solution

You're on Oracle 10g XE and you've just upgraded your APEX from 2.0 to 3.0. You log into APEX Admin and there's tons of broken image links. You look into the Oracle documentation for APEX and it instructs you to copy the Images folder into your htmldb directory if you're using Oracle 10g standard, etc. But you're using Oracle 10g XE and there is no Images folder anywhere to be seen!
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html
Excerpt from the website:
In OracleXE these resources (Images) are stored directly in the database, using the Oracle XMLDB feature. You can access the resources and modify them directly by using the WebDAV feature of the XMLDB.
(1) With Internet Explorer, just go to File > Open > http://127.0.0.1:8080/i (check "open as webfolder")
Then, copy the contents of your apex/images folder into this webfolder. It will take about 10 minutes. When it's done, refresh your Apex 3.0 website and lo and behold! Images! :)
Be sure to thank Dietmar Aust for his solution to this problem, provided on his website: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/03/where-are-images-of-application.html

Another option: Try the Oracle Database XE and Application Express 3.0.1 install guide.

Anyone having problems Tethering with the USB Cable here is the solution

Here is the solution to what took me 3 months to figure out, absolutely no one in this discussion board had the answer to no even the most expert.

does anyone have any other ideas to try or observations on compatibility between iPhone, Samsung, and HTC for international SMS?
International texting can be a crap shoot. It's not a question of phone compatibility but of carrier interoperability. I regularly text from my iPhone to my (domestic) colleagues (who all have Samsungs) and to a friend with and HTC (an old one, too) without difficulty.
One last question - I've never deleted my SMS from my friend, and would prefer not to. But it's pretty much the only thing I haven't tried. Does anyone think this might solve the problem eg if there are orphan texts somewhere on the network?
I'm not sure there really is such thing as an orphan text. If a text isn't deliverable, the carrier deletes it from it's system. SMS is quite a robust system.
There is no general incompatibility between iPhones and other phones as far as texting is concerned. I suspect what you may be seeing is a combination of an old phone and/or an issue with one or both of your carriers. Intermittent technical problems are some of the most difficult to solve.
I have vague memories of people saying that a trailing space at the end of the text made a difference when they had similar problems. It was a couple of years ago. (Honestly, this problem doesn't come up that often!). I don't recall if putting in the traling space helped, or removing it helped. It may also just have been magical thinkning.
Best of luck.

Hal.dll corrupted error on startup

Hi there.
I recently had rather a nasty bout of spywere problems. after tryign Norton anti-spywere, i have the following problem;
On startup, i get the toshibas splash screen, and then the error message :
Windows cannot find the file: hal.dll
it may be corrupted. please re-install the file
i have the solution to this (from the microsoft tech-support site) but the laptop (an R 10-101) has no floppy drive, and i have no setup disk, so i cannot get a recovery console to fix things.
Is it possible to get a setup disk without buying another copy of windows, or is it possible to get a boot CDrom as oppose to a Floppy Disk?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi
HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is an operating system programming layer that enables the operating system to operate with a hardware device.
The missing or cannot find hal.dll, \windows\system32\hal.dll, or \winnt\system32\hal.dll error message may be experienced on a Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP system when the boot.ini becomes corrupted or when a user is attempting to dual boot a computer.
The easiest way to solve the issue is to recover the OS because the boot.ini will be new created.
But you can also check this sites how to solve the problem.

Furthermore on this site you can find a description how to built a own bootable Windows CD-Rom.

How do I resolve an Error 100 message when downloading the Acrobat XI cloud?

I just paid for a twelve-month access to Acrobat XI through the creative cloud. Now I am getting an Error 100 message. I am not an employee of Acrobat, and I am not getting a paycheck, so I am not going to troubleshoot this issue. Will someone on the technical staff at Adobe please resolve this issue? I understand you only care about the money, but please try to behave like a competent professional and provide the services you are selling instead of continuing to steal money from everyone.
You designed this program and offered it for sale to the public as a viable product. I paid for it. It doesn't work. Please resolve this issue.
Thank you.

Try downloading it from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html, install it, then activate it with your Adobe ID.
Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

Here is the solution that fixed flash locking up my browser...

OK, I will attempt to explain as clearly as possible what was happening, and what I did to fix the issue. pretty simple, without all of the registry key hacks and edits, no in depth, "advanced", if you will, knowledge needed, so here goes
The system that was affected is an HP DV4 laptop that I upgraded from win vista home premium 64 to win 7 home premium 64. This system did not have the issue before upgrading from Vista to Win 7. Okay, so I banged my head for about a week, trying to figure out why flash was locking up on all browsers after about a second or two, I tried searching forums and trying methods to fix the issue that made sense. None worked. I tried simple things, uninstall, reinstall, reboot, offline uninstaller/installer, etc....nothing worked....suddenly I had an appifany...if I spelled that correctly. Why this had not dawned on me in the first place, I dunno.
I figured that If I disabled all other startup programs and services that aren't microsoft and see if there were any issues, then that would give me a base to work off of as far as excluding other programs that are installed on my system, and go from there, depending what my finding were at that time. So, what I did was first Uninstall completely the adobe Flash client on my system (don't think that needs explained).
Now that the Flash client is out of the way, you want to bring up the MSCONFIG utilitiy and modified the startup of the programs and services when the system boots. You can do this by simply navigating:
Start button in the bottom left/ click on the RUN command/ type in the white bar, "MSCONFIG"
the Microsoft Configuration utility will appear on your screen. You only need to pay attention to the SERVICES and STARTUP tabs.
Go to SERVICES tab. Click on the "Hide all Microsoft Services" checkmark box, make sure there is a checkmark in the box, then click on the button that says "Disable All".
Next go to STARTUP tab. click the button that says "disable all".
Click apply, then click okay. The utility will prompt you to reboot the system at this time, DO NOT reboot the system at this time, you have some more stuff to do....
Now you will make some changes to your browser....kindof clean it up a little. I'm assuming that everyone is using IE8, this is what i'm basing this technique off of.
go to start/run/ type in the box "INETCPL.CPL" or while browser is open, go to tools/internet options.....either way same thing.
Go to ADVANCED tab, at the bottom of that tab, you'll see RESTORE ADVANCED SETTINGS and RESET tabs. First, click on the restore advanced settings tabs in order to reset the advanced settings just in case there is something that might be set incorrectly, Not likely, but just a precautionary measure. Next, clikc on the reset tab. This will reset IE to it's default state when Windows was first installed and IE was first run. This will most importantly get rid of any addins, toolbars, etc that might be having conflicts as well.
Now that your startup programs and services and browser is reset, you will go ahead and reboot the system.
When your system reboots, you can go to youtube to watch a video, in which, the website will recognize that you don't have adobe flash installed, and prompt you to go to the flash site and download the latest version. Once you have the latest version installed, you should be in business.
As far as the programs and services that you've disabled on startup, there are some must haves that are going to have to be restarted by going back into the inetcpl. Things like your antivirus and other security programs are gonna have to be reenabled first, then any others, course I would only reenable one or two at a time simply for control measures, in order for you to keep track of which program is conflicting with adobe.
BOTTOM LINE: In my case, I had a conflict between adobe flash and either a third party background service or a third party program that was set to start at boot up. After completing the above procedure, my problems were permanently fixed. I however have not even attempted to reenable each and every background service and program that I disabled, simply because most of what I disabled, and might notably be the case in most everyones issues, is that when a system is bought from the store or manufacturer, the manufacturer; in my case HP, puts a crap ton of programs on the computer that ARE NOT NEEDED. the programs like HP system monitor or hp wireless assistant, etc.. etc...
I simply reenabled my antivirus and CAC card programs and a couple others that I need, other than that i'm good, those programs don't conflict, and i've been watching videos in flash for more that two weeks now. If anyone has issues or questions just ask.

Slow Finder? Here's the solution!

Finally I found the solution for the finder delay on mavericks, wich can cause folder loading times of up to ten seconds - on the internal SSD-drive.
This helped me out: http://youtu.be/wH7hU3LZT0A
Since doing this little step my system runs as fast as it was before updating to Mavericks. Enjoy!

So here’s what to do:
- Go to terminal
- type „sudo nano /etc/auto_master“
- type your password
- find the line that starts with „/net“
- type a „#“ at the beginning of this line
- save and quit
- type „sudo automount -vc“
That’s it.

Cannot send messages after crash, the solutions offered didn't work.

On Tuesday (april 7) there was an update to 31.6. On Thursday there was a crash. Since then cannot send messages. The solutions offered didn't work.
I'm getting the message that the SMTP-server doesn't support the selected authentication.
I tried the solution mentioned. But nothing helps. I configured the outgoing server on the different types and deleted the password as mentioned. After that I did the configuration with the different types of configuration again. No solution.
There is not a web-mail possibility. So I'm stuck now.
There is no problem with the incoming messages, they are coming in. Should this password be deleted also?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AC Plug Icon Stuck after Updater? Here's the solution...

Well, at least it worked for me. I saw that a lot of people were having this extremely annoying issue, and I was just about to pull my hair out, too.
It looked like the common thread amongst everyone having this problem was they were using a USB-based power adapter. Those that updated using a FireWire cord (a powered one, specifically) were not having this happen to them.
Oh, here's the issue. You jack your iPod Mini in, run the updater. It then tells you to plug it in to an AC socket to complete the installation of the new software. However, you do that, and nothing happens. My AC plug is a Griffin AC adapter that you just plug the USB plug into, and that does the charge.
I could go into the experiments that I tried to figure this out, but I think you just want a solution, right? Sorry, but it does involve buying an adapter. Use an automobile adapter. I got one at Wal-Mart for a mere 20 dollars, and it worked like a charm. On the upside, I can now charge my miniPod on the go, too.
Now, in my research on the web, I saw a lot of different issues relating to getting past the plug into the wall issue. Something that I read, that didn't work for me to get past THIS issue, but may help those that are without their AC adapters, is to plug the USB plug just slightly into their USB jack. This way, you will only engage the two outer pins in the plug that carry the 5V current to the miniPod, but the inner data pins won't be connected. The miniPod then thinks it is just a regular ol' charger, and continues the installation of the update.
Anyway, good luck everyone...

Problem starting Fireworks CS5.1 MAC ? Look here for the solution ...

After installing / uninstalling / installing, calling Adobe, deleting preferences ... in short, a great deal of wasting time (that I do not want you to do) ... the problem is somewhere else.
I've read the solution on a post (but too much posts read and I do not remember which one) :
Delete FlashFirebug for Firefox !!!!
That's it, and everything's now back to normal.
Hope it will help...

Thanks for sharing!
This Adobe Help page suggests uninstalling the Flashbug/FlashFirebug plug-in for Firefox if there's a problem with blank panels within Fireworks, particularly on the Windows OS. It's good to know that the same advice can help Mac users, too.

Here are the instructions on how to fix the newest update problem with the .dll error message:, Here are the instructions on how to fix the newest update problem with the .dll error message:

Go to My Computer, Uninstall Programs, and uninstall in this exact order :
      Itunes
      Apples Software Update
     Apple Mobile Device Support
     Bonjour (my system required a reboot on this one)
     Apple Application Support
Reboot your computer, go to the official Itunes website (make sure it's the Apple Itunes Website and not some other one!), and reinstall Itunes.
I got the same .dll error message after the reinstall, but my Itunes was downloaded successfully and I was able to Sync my phone. : )
Good luck to you and God Bless!
(Sad that we have to come to the Discussion Forum to figure this all out instead of Apple taking care of their business and helping us out, huh?)

Someone else said they did a system restore to a previous update, and then a java update and that worked for them, saying they were going to stick with the earlier version of itunes until they get the bugs out of the new one. I t tried restores and that didn't work for me either, but maybe it will work for you. Good luck and I hope you get it working soon..

ERROR 7 (Windows Error 126) and MSVCR80.dll missing. HERE IS THE SOLUTION!

Read the instructions very carefully and follow the steps exactly as shown: http://http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 "Removing and reinstalling itunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8".
After completing STEP 2, you may still find a couple of applications (icloud & mobile). You may only see the "change" option. If so, click on "change", it will prompt you to the uninstall option. Click on "uninstall" and the applications will be removed.
Tip: You may still find a shortcut and a file called itunes64setup on your desktop. DO NOT DELETE THEM.
Restart your PC as indicated in STEP 3, and reinstall you itunes. You´ll have it alive again!
Tip: make sure you're running the latest Windows updates.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Error (1604) Your iPhone 2.0 is not Dead!!! Here is the solution:

Like many of you i thought my iPhone was dead, I had tried everything but nothing worked. All i was getting was Error 1604.
With no hope I did the following:
(you will need: iPhone Firmware 1.0.2 / iTunes 7.6.2 / A bit of patience )
1- Completely uninstall Your current iTunes (Save "iTunes Library" in a safe place; it will make it easier to recover everything once you re-update)
To uninstall iTunes there are cool apps such as "AppZapper"
2- Move the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework folder to the Trash - empty trash
3- Restart your computer
4- Install iTunes 7.6.2
5- Put your iPhone in DFU mode (NOT in recovery Mode!!!)
6- Connect your iPhone to your computer, Launch iTunes (iTunes will Warn you that it found an iPhone in Recovery Mode - Click OK) Then press OPTION while clicking Restore and navigate to the firmware 1.0.2 that you have previously downloaded (Note: if you are an early iPhone user it might be already in your computer just go to User/Library/Itunes/iPhone Software Updates)
7- Now your iPhone should be restoring. Let it finish...
Once your iPhone restarts you can either keep it that way (but i doubt so, since this firmware comes straight from the stone age or otherwise try once more to update it to 2.0
8- Update iTunes using software update, (put it in recovery mode) then click restore in itunes if you are a legit iphone user, < Edited by Host >
Voila - Hope it helps
Jay

People who have still not solved error 1604 and had a bricked iPhone no matter what they tried, might manage to revive it by following these instructions (on how to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.1.4).
You will need the following:
- iTunes 7.5 (NOT 7.7)
- iPhone firmware iPhone1,11.1.4_4A102Restore.ipsw
Step 1:
Uninstall iTunes 7.7 completely if you have it and restart your computer.
Step 2:
Install iTunes 7.5
Step 3:
Your iPhone should be in 2 states, either stuck on the "Slide to make emergency calls" screen, or you tried to restore before and it's stuck on the new look "connect to iTunes" screen. Either way you're ok.
Enter the phone in DFU mode (You must have the iPhone connected to the computer and iTunes running). To do this, hold the power & the home button down for about 9 seconds.
Why 9s? Well people say 10s, but it depends how slow you are at counting. Too short and it doesn't work, too long and the apple logo appears.
When you hit about 6-7s the screen should turn off, leave it for 2 more seconds and release the power button, STILL holding the home button. If all went well, you should NOT see an apple logo, the screen should be dead.
Keep holding home until windows/Mac informs you that it's found new hardware, OR iTunes tells you that your iPhone is in recovery mode. Remember, screen should be blank.
If you see an apple logo, repeat the process for less time until you get it right. Took me a little time.
Step 4:
Shift/Option click the restore button in iTunes and select the iPhone1,1_1.1.4 firmware you downloaded.
Fingers crossed it should restore back to 1.1.4.
