1. Press 'Esc,' 'Shift' and 'Ctrl' at the same time to open the Windows Task Manager.
2. Click the 'Processes' tab. Select 'crypt32.dll' or 'crypt32.exe,' and click 'End Process.'
3. Exit the Windows Task Manager.
Remove the Files
4. Click 'Start.' Type 'Windows Explorer' in the search box and press 'Enter.' This opens the Windows Explorer.
5. Type 'crypt32' in the search box, and press 'Enter.'
6. Right-click each file one at a time and click 'Properties.' Verify the file location of the file. You are going to remove the crypt32 files that exist outside of the System32 folder.
7. Right-click each file, and click 'Delete.'
1. Place your 'Call of Duty 4' CD-ROM into your computer.
2. Click 'Start.' Open the 'Computer' folder. Right-click on the 'Call of Duty' CD-ROM icon and click 'Explore.' Locate the file labeled 'IW3sp.exe.' Drag the file onto your hard drive to make a copy on your computer. Close the window.
3. Click 'Start.' Open 'Computer' again and then 'Program Files.'
4. Open the 'Activision' folder and select the 'Call of Duty 4 -- Modern Warfare' directory. Open the folder labeled 'Zone' and then the folder inside that folder labeled 'English.' Drag the copy of the IW3sp.exe file you copied to your desktop into this directory. This will replace the corrupted file and allow you to play the game again.
1. You should first reboot your computer, since HAL.DLL errors are not always real threats, and might stop after a simple reboot.
2. HAL.DLL errors might be caused simply by an improper booting order in your BIOS configuration. You should make sure that the system disk is the first source of boot-up on your computer.
3. If you run the right version of Windows, you might actually have System Restore on your computer. Run this to restore to an older point before these HAL.DLL errors started appearing. Perhaps this might solve your problem.
4. Boot up your computer using your Windows Installation Disk, and when you receive the 'Welcome to the Setup' message, press 'R.' This will start the recovery console. Write the administrator password and press 'Enter,' and then type 'bootcfg /list' and press 'Enter.' After that, do the same thing, only this time, typing 'bootcfg /rebuild.'
5. If all goes wrong, you still have three more options. You can either restore the HAL.DLL file from the Windows disk (in other words, copying the file and overwriting the old HAL.DLL), you can run a repair installation of Windows (if this is available on your version of windows), or you will have to, as a last resort, run a clean, new installation of Windows.
1. Click on the 'Start' menu and open 'Computer.' If you are using Windows XP or 2000, it will appear open the 'My Computer' shortcut on the desktop. Click on the 'Tools' menu and open 'Folder Options.'
2. Click on the 'View' tab in Folder Options. Clear the box next to 'Hide extensions for known file types' as well as 'Hide protected operating system files [Recommended].'
3. Click 'OK' and 'Apply' in the Folder Options window. Type 'winsrv.dll' into the search box on the top-right corner of the window. If you are a Windows XP or 2000 user, access the 'Search' tool by opening the 'Start' menu and opening the Search tool. You may have to repeat Step 2 in the Search window if 'winsrv.dll' does not display with the Search tool.
Repair Internet-based Script Errors
1. Click on 'Start,' 'Settings' and 'Control Panel.'
2. Double-click 'Internet.'
3. Click on 'Fonts' on the default 'General' tab.
4. Select 'Western' in the 'Character Sets' section, then click on 'Set as Default.' Click 'OK.'
5. Click on the 'Delete Files' button back on the 'General' tab of the Internet Properties box. Click 'OK' twice.
6. Download and install Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, or uninstall and reinstall if Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 is currently installed on your computer. Please see Resources.
Repair Web View-based Script Errors
7. Click on 'Start,' then 'Windows Explorer.'
8. Navigate to the folder that causes script errors to appear.
9. Click on 'View' in the menu bar. Select 'Customize This Folder,' then click 'Remove Customization.'
10. Click 'Next,' then 'Finish.'
11. Reinstall Windows 98 if you continue to receive script errors when viewing Windows folders to refresh the Windows Desktop Update feature.
1. Write the specific file name down when Windows detects the missing or corrupt file. This will appear in a dialog box.
2. Scan your system with the System File Checker (SFC) utility, which is built into XP Professional. It will search for the damaged DLL files and replace them with the original versions. (If the SFC cannot locate the files, it will prompt you to insert the Windows installation CD.) Click Start, then select Run from the menu options. When the command prompt appears, type in 'SFC /SCANNOW.'
This scan could take 30 minutes or longer. When the scan is complete, reboot your computer. You have solved the problem if the error message is gone. If it is still there, proceed to the next step.
3. Download the missing DLL file from the resource webpage link. Search the webpage for the exact DLL file that is missing from your system, and click on the link to download the file to the Windows desktop. Use an unzip utility program to extract the DLL file and readme text. You will find several free unzip utilities on the Internet; refer to your particular program's documentation on how to extract ZIP files.
4. Open the readme text file after extracting the files to your desktop by double clicking on it. The readme file will show you where you will need to move the DLL file in order for it to work properly. Click on the 'Start' botton and choose 'My Computer' to open up Windows Explorer. Click on 'Local Drive C:' to access your computer system files.
5. Locate the appropriate system folder in your computer's hard drive that will contain the DLL file (refer to the readme file for the correct file path). Once you have found the correct file folder, click and hold the left mouse button over the new DLL file on your desktop, and drag and release the file into the proper system folder using the mouse.
1. Make sure you have enough disk space on the device you're trying to move the files to. After deleting files, the problem will most likely be resolved.
2. If that doesn't work, create another file folder on the device you're trying to copy the files to. Then copy the files into the new folder.Sometimes storage devices get finicky if there are too many files in one folder or if the file names are too long. Copying the files into another folder on the same device can get around this issue.
3. Restart your computer, which might free up RAM that is preventing the file from being moved.
1. Click 'Start' and click 'Run.'
2. Type 'cmd' in the 'Open' text box, and click 'OK.' This opens the command-line utility.
3. Type 'sfc/scannow' without the quotes. The System File Checker checks your system for damaged DLL files. Once done, it provides you with a list of corrupted files and indicates whether it was able to repair them.
4. Type 'Exit' in the command window to close it when finished with the scan.
1. Find the incorrect reference variable by appearance. For example, an Object Variable uses a dot (Hello.value=1) and a Normal Variable does not. The correct variable type needs to be used for the correct situation.
2. Change the incorrect variable to fit the situation. For example, a shared variable can be used for a variety of instances within a class while a local variable will be used independently for the instance it was created.
3. Run and test the program by connecting to the Internet, click 'Debug' and then 'Start Debugging.' This will run the program.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 if Error 424 still appears.
