My computer will not let me reboot. Its giving me an error code /windows/system 32/c_1252.nls. ???

Do you know what I can do to reboot. I have tried set up disc. Error code that my test site gave was 5300:0820. Do you know what that means?

I would STRONGLY suggest before doing anything that you back up any data you need to save. There could be several things going on (and I'm not familiar with that exact error), and clearly there is a shot at your puter crashing. So now is a great time to save anything you don't have backed up just incase!





Then I would first try countrol alt delete once, which brings up your control manager. Up top select shut down and see if you have better luck that way. The last known good config is an excellent idea if that doesn't work.





And if these things do work I would suggest running all the basic diagnostics after, but if your OS is corrupt you might end up needing to do a reformat. Clearly it sounds like there is a corruption somewhere. Which is why I am so strongly suggesting you back up anything you might need now.





Good luck

Reply:You can try a cold shutdown, which forces your computer to turn off. This is usually done by holding down the power button until it switches off. Often, the software error will be rectified when you restart. Note that doing a cold shutdown is not recommended routinely.

Reply:c_1252.nls is a XP system file that apparently is either missing or corrupted. You can either use the recovery console to install this file or you can run a repair install or XP.
