SYSTEM32\HAL.DLL MISSING OR CORRUPT Closed

Question

Hello,
I am getting this SYSTEM32\HAL.DLL MISSING OR CORRUPT message, happend after attempting to in IE8.  I have tried many online suggestions to remedy, using the boot cd, tried repair through recovery console, didn't work. I am not super computer savy.  I know I can reinstall XP but I don't want to lose all my pictures and data.  Is there a way to backup all my files (yes, I hadnt done that aas I should have) from the repair console at the cd/windows prompt?

Hi

I had the same issue after I just installed IE8, so I think IE8 has caused some issues on my XP install too.  Only I was able to restart my computer a couple of times and it loaded up fine again.  I had to dismiss the Hybernated backup that it had stored for me (said it was corrupt on start up), but that was about it.
