Windows xp pro login problem

[Marc]

I'm at a loss with this one. I'm basically locked out of
my computer. My windows xp pro desktop was began
me 'registry_error' Blue screens when attempting to load
windows. The couple times that it did load I attempted to
do a system restore from a system restore point. Whenever
I clicked on Help and Support to access this function but
nothing happened. It wouldn't load. I tried safe mode
with no avail(gave me Blue screen). I tried to re-install
windows, but it will only let me overwrite all my
existing files, not just 'upgrade' to the original disk.
I decided not to try to reinstall and rebooted and now I
am presented with the windows xp pro username/password
login. I type in both and it begins to load but then just
kicks me back to the login screen again.

I'm thinking my registry is fried somehow, but I can't
access anything anymore. I'm hoping system restore would
fix whatever the hell happened, but I can't get to it.
HELP!!
