cp_1252.nls error at startup

When I startup my Laptop, I get the following error:

"Windows could not start because the folloing file is missing or corrupt:
\windows\system32\cp_1252.nls

......
"

I have tried using the Recovery CD that came with my Laptop, and pressed R. But it does not go to the Windows Recovery Console. Instead I get the same error message.

Any idea how I can get rid of this error.

Kind regards

I can guarantee this is not a hardware problem, so I'll move it to somewhere more appropriate.

try start > run > sfc /scannow - you will need the windows cd (not sure if it will work with a recovery cd).
