Hal.dll
Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL
Description
Hardware Abstraction Layer Dynamic Linked Library is used to access devices without knowledge of the protocols used by the underlying hardware. While most hardware drivers are contained in other files, drivers required by the kernel during startup are complied into Hall.dll.
Computer manufacturers may create their own Hal.dll to handle unique hardware requirements. They will replace the standard Hall.dll with there own version. This is often occurs with laptops, but less so with desktops.
This is a critical Windows file. Windows cannot be started (even in Safe mode) if this file is missing or damaged.
Hal.dll is a 32-bit Dynamic Linked Library of code components that requires no direct user interface.
