i have the os CD and i was wondering if there are files on there that i an just transfer over instead of deleting everything and loosing all of my files
Try this first:
From a command prompt;
sfc /scannowIf above doesn't work let me know there is another way via recovery console. This is better way as it will replace all other malware infected system files.

Press Y. Then Restart and wait for chkdsk to finish. Then reboot and Go to recovery console type:
expand E:\I386\explorer.ex_ %systemroot%\explorer.exeWhere E:\ is you drive with windows installation CD.

Did chkdsk automatically run after restart? If chkdsk ran sucessfully follow:
To start the Recovery Console directly from the Windows XP CD you would do the following:
1. Insert the Windows XP cd in your computer.
2. Restart your computer so you are booting off of the CD.
3. When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press the R button on your keyboard to start the Recovery Console.
4. The Recovery Console will start and ask you which Windows installation you would like to log on to. If you have multiple Windows installations, it will list each one, and you would enter the number associated with the installation you would like to work on and press enter. If you have just one Windows installation, type 1 and press enter.
5. It will then prompt you for the Administrator's password. If there is no password, simply press enter. Otherwise type in the password and then press enter. If you do not know your password then see this.
6. If you entered the correct password you will now be presented with a C:\Windows> prompt and you can start using the Recovery Console.
At that prompt type:
expand E:\I386\explorer.ex_ %systemroot%\explorer.exe
Where E:\ is you drive letter with windows installation CD.
