IF01089Hal.dll Hal.dll is the core file of the Windows NT family of operating systems that provides and handles the interaction of software and hardware via the Hardware Abstraction Layer. Without hal.dll being present, any machine running a Windows NT based operating system will fail to function, if it even boots. Windows includes several HALs to support different kinds of hardware; the appropriate HAL is chosen during the initial installation of Windows. Generally speaking, the determining factors for HAL selection are uni- vs. multi-processor CPU, ACPI vs. non-ACPI, and APIC vs. PIC.
