I have Win 2003 SBS SP2 with all latest update.

About 60 days ago I start getting following error:
0x0000009c (0x00000000, 0x808a07a0, 0xbe000300, 0x20030179)

All research that I did indicated hardware problems. I moved hard
drives to different hardware, but in 3 days I got same error again.

I researched Microsoft and found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835768

I also verified hal.dll on the server and found following:
in C:\WINNT\system32\hal.dll Ver 5.2.3790.3959 size 119,808 bytes
in C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386\hal.dll Ver 5.2.3790.3959 size
109,568 bytes

Note both files have same version, but different file size!!!

Does anyone have any idea what size should it be and how to fix it?

Thank you,

Alex

I found another file size difference: ntkrnlpa.exe

in C:\WINNT\system32 Ver: 5.2.3790.4035 size: 2,321,408 bytes
in C:\WINNT\Driver Cache\i386 ver 5.2.3790.4035 size: 2,280,960 bytes

file ntoskrnl.exe:

in C:\WINNT\system32 ver 5.2.3790.4035 size: 2,469,888 bytes
in C:\WINNT\Driver Cache\i386 ver 5.2.3790.4035 size: 2,430,464 bytes

Please advise.
Thank you Alex.
