My smaller computer is having a problem lately loading XP. It has been running fine with XP since new.
Today I was on it without a problem. Shut the computer down for dinner. When I went to fire it back up It keeps saying.....
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\system32\1_intl.nsl
Now I'm on my super computer asking you all.
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS & START WINDOWS?
I spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support but they don't speak very good english & couldn't help out at all.
I tried firing it in safe mode, ms-dos mode, just about every mode I could think of & kept getting the same message.
Are you sure it read this ?
Maybe some letters got mis-placed,as I can't find anything for you ?
WINDOWS\system32\1_intl.nsl
Yeah, that is what it is saying.
Tech support is sending me a restore CD for XP. I might just burn them off this computer tomorrow though and see what happens. I tried to burn the restore CD's tonight, but they wouldn't burn to a CDR-W just to a CD-R.
I did a search on the .nsl extension on Filext.com and it is showing up as a Nokia cell phone software extension. (Probably for changing logos or ring tones?) If you don't have this sort of software installed on your computer, I would suspect a virus of some sort. Also, you can try choosing the "last good configuration" option when you're using safe mode start up in Win XP. I hope these two options work out for you. Sometimes it is just easier doing a complete reformat/re-install rather than wasting countless hours trying to diagnose "obscure" windows problems.

I just recently had the exact same problem with my laptop, it crapped out on my on a trip to Europe and I didn’t have the original disks that came from Dell with all the info and such that would have made things so much easier. My problem was that the computer was missing the WHOLE system32 file. It said the same thing as what your said. I forget exactly how I got around it but I had to use another copy of Windows XP but it was Office to reinstall windows, I was able to save my data but it was only really good for typing and playing one computer game Super Power lol. Anyway I just thought id relate my problem, it happened in the same manner as yours I was using it one moment and than the next day…nothing.
Boot from your Windows XP install disk and select "repair".
Don't have any. They don't give those out with new computers anymore. I think I'm going to buy some CD-R's today & burn a copy off this computer to see if I can boot the other one.

Don't have that on that little computer. All my Nokia ring tomes get downloaded right off my phone. Don't even need the computer to get them.

-Now you know why I build my own computers.
I also do not use system restore. That function makes a real mess out of a hard drive.
