Reoccuring XP boot problem 1

[search66]

I've had this error message occur consistantly over the last month:

The file C:\windows\system32\c_1252.nls is missing or corrupt

I've done a repair twice by changing the name of the file and copying a fresh one, and I've even reinstalled the OS twice.

XP Pro will work for sometime (a day or two), and then when booting; it receives the same error.

Any clues to why this is happenning? I have the latest drivers for my MB and hardware; as well as running SP1.

Update:

After expanding the above mentioned file, and rebooting.. It's missing another nls file.

Any idea why these nls files are being removed?

Update2:

For each nls file I copy/expand, the next reboot finds another missing nls.

Excellent. Thanks bro.

I tried that and was able to boot into Windows.. However, it was giving me this error once at the logon screen:

A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x80070002.

SOB! I tried to go into Safemode to regedit, and talk about creepy... No start button, I couldn't ctrl-alt-del and no applications would work.

Screw it. I have a full backup, I'm just going to do a low lvl format on the sucker.



Thanks again!

Actually, I followed the jsiinc when I Googled it...

Thanks for the feedback though; I'm back into Windows after format/reinstall.

Things look good, and theres nothing like a virgin OS.
