File missing or currupt: windows\systems32\c_1252.nls let not computer start__

When starting my computer I get the following: windows\system32\c_1252.nls file missing or currupt.
eMachine T3882 Model # T3882.
I had a mistake at the start to say '(lack of Windows\systems32\c_1252.nls or currupt', "put start-up CD, and then press R to repair." Well a system recovery page came. Two options:
(1) the full system restore (Destructive) I don't want that.
(2) full (with the back facing upwards) system restore I want that.
My question is, using the second option, I'll still be able to retrieve my photos?  I think I'm going, but I want to make sure.

Thank you
Rick

If you don't have a copy of XP on CD then you need to check with Lenovo and see if they will provide a.  If this isn't the case, then you can try to copy the file from another system of work and then replace your.  This article describes the error you see.

  • file missing or corrupt windows\system32\config\system

    HELP - by on the title I did: -.

    The full, first part, follow these steps:

    1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
      Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
      MD tmp
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
      Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

      delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
      delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
      Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
      delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
      Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

      Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
      copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
      copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
      Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
      Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

    6. Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

    Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

    If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

    batch regcopy1.txt

    With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use thebatch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands.

    Second part

    To perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged in as administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

    Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

    1. Click Start , click shut down (or click turn off computer ), click restart , and then click OK (or click restart ).
    2. Press the F8 key.

      On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.

    3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
    4. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

    In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

    1. Start Windows Explorer.
    2. On the Tools menu, click folder options .
    3. Click the view tab.
    4. Under hidden files and folders , select Show hidden folders and files , and then click to clear theHide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
    5. When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
    6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
    7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.

      Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

      Note You may receive the following error message:

      C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

      If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

      309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
    8. Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to clickDetails on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RPx under this folder. Here are the restore points.
    9. Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
      C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
    10. Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
      • _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
    11. Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
      • Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

    These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

    The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

    The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

    Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

    Third part

    In part three, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

    1. Start the Recovery Console.
    2. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
      del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

      del c:\windows\system32\config\security

      del c:\windows\system32\config\software

      del c:\windows\system32\config\default

      del c:\windows\system32\config\system

      copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

      copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

    copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

    Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

    Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

    Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

  • Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.
  • Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

    If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 2, and then create a text file named "Regcopy2.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

    regcopy2.txt batch

    Fourth part

    1. Click Start and then click all programs .
    2. Click on Accessories , then System Tools .
    3. Click System Restore , and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint .

    and now when I go to the fourth part and try to connect, it says I need to activate windows to open a session. If I click on Yes, the computer crashes just in my background image, if I click on no, this Chuck me back to the log in page... What is wrong with this blooming thing

    Please HELP - it took three days of messing around and actually the Ive got nowhere!

    OOOOO... should start here:
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes pulling and buttons power)
    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.
    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).
    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must be first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.
    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • each download will in pdf file that opens in windows media center, I can not pull up or the play .i see the file but do not know how to access the media center.hope it makes sense.

    I have media library but do not know how to open files that is downloaded.

    Media Center does not open PDF files and PDF files have nothing to do with playback of music or videos.  Somehow, downloads do not create the appropriate file types.  Where are you these downloads?  Can you give me a website?  You want to download (images, videos, music, what)?  What version of Media Center do you use?  What version of Vista are you using?  How do you download files and if you use a browser, which is the name and version of the browser?

  • My computer does not start. The text on the screen is: Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupted: \WINDOWS\system32\c_437.nls.

    I tried to boot from the system cd, but nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Wilma Jean,
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing you need to check is that your PC is set to boot from the CD.  The boot order is set in the BIOS and check the PC manufacturer for instructions on how to change it.  Once you are ready to start from the CD drive first, and then boot from the XP CD in Recovery Console.  This link explains how to start the recovery console: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654#3

    Once you start the recovery console, I would say the following two commands (links after the controls give explanations\instruction thereon) running.

    Chkdsk /r http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 (the instructions explain running cmd on the start menu, you will not need to do this step)

    Hello

    What operating system is currently installed?

    If Windows doesn't start over there is not much you can do and I recommend to reinstall Windows from the Toshiba recovery disc. Such a new and clean facility can help power Windows and the new installed Windows system will work also a bit faster and more stable if it s advisable to reinstall at any time (1-2 years).

    So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall Windows.

    If you want Office 2007 updates to appear in the installed updates again, you would need to uninstall/reinstall Office 2007 and install all the updates again.

    Assuming that Office 2007 is installed & working properly and no update is offered when you run a manual check for updates now, you might want to leave enough alone (that is, do nothing) - then see if the 2 updates for Office 2007 SP3 be released next Tuesday (a) receive, (b) successfully install and (c) are listed in the installed updates later.

    PS: The possible causes of the problem are messing with registry cleaners, messing around with the Software Distribution folder, and the fact that it was a computer refurbished when you bought it.

    I agree with kody. You can try to fix it using windows advanced option menu. Maybe you can also try to repair Windows by using the recovery console. Problem is that this option can be used with Microsoft WXP CD facilities and not with supplied recovery media.

  • My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM.

    My pc says that windows does not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. It is said it can be repaired by using the original installation CD, but we do not have. Any ideas please?

    The file is missing or corrupt is one of your files in the system registry.

    By far, the best way to recover from this is to go to another computer and create a free Hirens Boot CD.
    Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ > (link at the bottom of the icon of the disk)
    Hirens CD burning <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/burning/ >

    Once you create the CD, and then start your system of problem with this CD.  In the first window, select "Mini Windows XP" and wait for the system to start.  When it starts, go to the Hirens Boot CD menu and select
    Register-> Registry Restore Wizard.
    then follow the prompts.  This wizard will return a copy of your registry database from backups that are stored with your system restore points.  After the restoration, stop, remove the CD and restart.

    When you start your system, it is recommended to perform a system restore operation to ensure the consistency of your system
