lock out while "repairing" XP Pro

[Guest]

I had lost functionality of the trash bin (eq.) among other problems

I finally elected to "repair" XP (which it called "upgrade"

After a little over an hour, everything stopped and this message was displayed

"unregmp2.exe - Entry point not foun

the procedure point get IUMS could not be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL

After three separate attempts to install files ... I am still locked out

What do I need to do

When the problem occurs, press Shift +F10 to bring up the
command prompt. Then type taskmgr.exe in the DOS window
and press Enter. The Task Manager should be started. If
not, try to press C+Shift+ESC. In the Task Manager
program, select the error messsage window in the
application list and click "End Task". In the process
list, terminate the unregmp2.exe program. Exit the DOS
prompt window and resume the installation process.
