Missing? You can replace the file from the recovery console.
From a command prompt you can expand the file. An example;
expand E:\I386\c_1252.nl_ %windir%\system32\c_1252.nls
would expand a new copy 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.
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. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. 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%

| WINNT\system32\c_1252.nls error

| after looking this up I understand that it might have
| something to do with the way it is partitioned??? It was
| working fine so I'm not sure how this happened, but more
| importantly I have no idea how to correct it. It will
| not allow me to do anything - safe mode, c prompt -
| nothing. Any advice would be appreciated.
