USB ports not working after fixing hal.dll startup problem.
Hi I recently had an error while my computer booted up saying that the hal.dll is missing or corrupt, so I followed steps to replace it with the one on my windows xp cd. After sucessfully booting the computer, the mouse and keyboard dont work. So I tried rebooting and the mouse and keyboard turned on while it starting booting up but then both cut off. After every reboot anything connected to a usb port seems to work while the computer boots up but then just turns off. Does anyone know any way to fix this?
