UNSOLVED
Came home and screen was blank. System won't boot. Getting error message
"windows could not start because the following file is missing or currupt: \system32\lal.dll
please re-install a copy of the above file"
this appears to have happened spontaneously, since the computer was on when i left for the office, and this condition was present when i return. i tried to boot from the windows cd, but it won't read from the drive. any suggestions?

it seems like a windows file is corrupt. You can try to repair your windows.
Boot to your windows XP. On the Windows setup screen, press R (recovery console)
If it asks you to choose what to repair (there's usually just 1 choice), type 1 and enter. If it asks you for the administrator password, leave it blank and press enter (unless you did setup an admin password, that is).
At the command prompt (C:\Windows\), type "chkdsk /r" w/o the quotes then enter
once finished, type EXIT then enter.
Hope this heklps. Good luck!
