"KBDIS.DLL Bad Image" Message at Startup

[Guest]

I'm running XP Home Edition with SP2 installed. The machine had been running
fine until two days ago. Now, when the machine is started the message
"Application or DLL C:\Windows\System32\KBDUS.DLL is not a valid Windos
image. Check this against the installation diskette". If I press return and
continue, the message "application failed to initialize properly (0x0150002)"
displays. The desktop displays - no icons or task bar - no response from the
keyboard. Any help would be appreciated.

KBDUS.DLL is the United States Keyboard Layout

[[application failed to initialize properly (0x0150002) ]]

0x0150002 is not the correct error code.
