Hi, Richard.

You probably don't need to "reinstall" WinXP, but if you do, the
instructions are here:
How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q315341

Be sure to visit Windows Update as soon as you get your firewall and
antivirus working again and get back online. There are a lot of fixes here,
including the one that protects you from the Blaster worm. Better plan on
half a day for the full reinstall of WinXP, but your installed applications
and data should survive the reinstallation just fine.

Just be sure to read the instructions carefully. The first Repair option is
not the one you're looking for; go past this one to Install, and then Repair
the existing installation.
