How to Install a HAL.DLL File


1. Click on the Hal.dll download link provided in 'Resources.' This will take you to a page that offers the file as a download.
2. Click on the blue underlined link that says, 'Click here to go to the download of Hal.dll.' This will bring up a new small pop-up window called 'hal.dll step 3 of 3.'
3. Click 'Download hal.dll.' The file will now be downloaded as a zip file.
4. Download and install a zip converter software if your computer does not currently have one. WinZip provides a free trial version of its software (see download link in Resources).
5. Open the 'hal.dll' zip file. It will now be opened by the WinZip program (or whatever you have running on the computer). In the extract location, select 'C:\Windows\System32\.
6. Click 'Extract' (or unzip, depending on the program). The file will now be extracted and installed into the Microsoft Windows directory.
