Can someone please tell me how to get my laptop to work, I kee getting the same error message over and over, no matter what I have done so far, error NLS files missing or corrupt. I have a repair disk and a backup disk made and tried both of them multiple times, and I get the samee screen with same message, tried doing the recovery, and still the same thing. Am I doomed?
Work through these steps for Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot.
In particular run a full Disk Check from DVD or Repair CD System Recovery Options Command Line, followed by SFC -SCANNOW Run in Command Prompt at Boot.
If these fail to help work through the other steps in order until if necessary you run Factory Recovery or Clean Reinstall. You can rescue your files at any time using that step.
If you've repaired and/or replaced the OS and you are still getting those messages, you might want to start considering hardware issues. Check the hard drive with manufacturer tools and the memory with Memtest.
Tried steps, still will not get past screen stating NLS files missing.
