Replace the file from the recovery console. To start the Recovery Console,
start the computer from the Windows 2000 Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup
floppy disks. If you do not have Setup floppy disks and your computer cannot
start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD, use another Windows 2000-based
computer to create the Setup floppy disks. Press ENTER at the "Setup
Notification" screen. Press R to repair a Windows 2000 installation, and
then press C to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console then prompts
you for the administrator password. If you do not have the correct
password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the computer. If an
incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery Console quits and
restarts the computer. Once the password has been validated, you have full
access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard disk. You can
only access the following folders on your computer: %systemroot% and
%windir%
From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;
expand E:\I386\calc.ex_ %windir%\system32\calc.exe
would expand a new copy of calc.exe to the \system32 directory.
Also you'll want to use the correct version for the service pack level
you're at. So you may need to extract the file from a service pack.
To extract the service pack files without installing them, execute
J:\W2kSP4\W2KSP4.exe /x
Then when prompted, specify a directory to hold the extracted files.
(note: c_1252.nls is located in %windir%\system32 directory probably
\winnt\system32)
