Ok I tried upgrading my os to vista then decided I wasn't going to but ever since then I have been having problems with windows xp. When I boot up, I am given an option of choosing windows xp, or windows xp setup. I then have 3 situations:

1. If I choose windows xp my computer runs normally.

2. If I choose xp setup nothing happens I get a blank black screen.

3. If I do nothing I get a black screen that has one message, at the top it says windows is missing <windows root>\system32\hal.dll

How can I set my computer back to its normal state?
