What's the result?

I tried all 3, the problem still persists.

I was wondering, is there an option to overwrite the NLS files from a functioning Vista installation?

If you have access to another Vista machine, use a USB stick and copy the
nls files from that install to the one you cannot boot. You can do that
using a Knoppix or similar linux live cd that can write to NTFS.

Do I only copy all the .NLS files in the system32 directory?

if you have access to your system you should run a system file checker to verify and fix the system files. it is run start>search>cmd>run as admin> sfc /scannow

let us know the results
