Easy Find your XP cd and then click on start/run, and type in sfc /scannow. SFC(system file check), will restore all of you critical file back to origonial state.

you dont need YOUR cd, just any XP cd, (making sure its home/pro, depending on which you have. ) I'm sure you can borrow one for the ten or fifteen minutes needed to run. sfc. it IS the best option here.
