Have you tried rebooting into the advanced options menu,

for either safe mode, or select the "last known good
configuration" yet ? I would run the system file checker
tool, click your start<run, then type in; " sfc /scannow "
with that space after the sfc. It will ask for your XP CD
to copy any needed system files. If this does not fix
this, then you may need to do a repair type reinstall of
XP, by booting to your XP CD.
