I get his message whne I start XP, what is causing it and how do I fix it?
 
Run either AutoRuns or Hijack This! to identify the startup line referencing the localization string. Usually this will be a hardware device you have either removed, or suffered a bad install. Use either of these utilities to clear the registry entry.

AutoRuns: Hijack This:
 
Oh, I took the floppy drive out of my laptop, would that cuase it?
 
No.
There is software installed that is using on of the Run keys of the registry to load a configuration file, likely language related. It cannot find the file, hence the error message.

Two known software packages that issue the error: the UMAX scanner, and the Logitech mouse.
