I have a few questions about the HAL on Windows 2000:
I believe I have a problem with APM: my computer will not turn itself off when I
shutdown. It is a dual boot system, and will shut down fine in Win98. Therefore,
the BIOS is working fine.
Question #1:
Should I search the website/contact technical support of the computer manufacturer,
the motherboard manufacturer, or Microsoft to determine if I should upgrade my HAL?
Question #2:
If I do have to upgrade (i.e., reinstall, according to the instructions of this article),
will backing up my registry and reloading it afterwards make my programs work so
I don't have to reinstall them?
Question #3:
I have trouble with my floppy drive: everytime I try to read a floopy disk, I get
the following message:
"A:/ not accessible.
The floppy disk controller reported an error that is not recognized by the floppy
disk driver."
Could this also be resolved my reinstalling a new, correct HAL?
My thanks to anyone who can help.
