won't startup: missing/corrupt system32\l_intl.nls

Hello,

Using a Dimension 8250 Desktop. Turned on computer, after the Black Dell screen, this came on:

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\System32\l_intl.nls You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows set up using the original set up cd-rom. Select (alittle) r at the first screen to start.

I tried this, and it didn't work.

It looks like I will have to erase the hard drive and re-install the system....or, maybe it's finally time to get a new computer...this one is 4 or 5 years old.

Any suggestions about repairing the file/starting up the computer would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Laura
