Bobbi,
(Do you have a twin called Kitty???)
It sounds like the hal (which is the 'hardware abstraction
layer' dll that links the computer hardware
to the software) is corrupted, and with that file gone,
nothing else will work.
Take a look at:

Also, check the suggestion from Ben Lee about half way
through this thread:
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/14666
and lastly the official MS suggestion:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314477&Product=winxp
with particular attention to methods 2, 3 and 4.
Good luck,
Chek
