Hello all - first time poster, but I expect to be back Okay so I have a macbook pro partitioned for osx and windows xp. Today I was activating some adobe software in windows using parallels and ran into some error... said necessary files were missing. So I restated using the windows partition and got this error:
windows could not start <windows root>\system32\hal.dll is corrupt or missing. Please re-install a copy of the above file.
The strange thing is windows is running fine through parallels??? So I'm a bit nervous to go digging around because I don't want to lose access to the windows files through parallels. Also, I would assume I could just reinstall windows (have the cd) through boot camp, but then I would have to reinstall all the software. uhg. Why would something like this happen? It worked great just a few days ago.
Thanks in advance for your help.
