try reloading a service pack. looks like either some protected file was replaced or your list of protected files is in need of updating..this may help you:

the error you're getting sounds like the PCs are looking for the ORIGINAL 2K installation disk. What i mean by original is the one that was used for the installation---NOT ANY 2K disk will work. we run into this a lot at work when something has been installed from the network or someone screws up an installation---windows tries to fix it but it need the original CD or network path to do so.
hope this helps
