System Restore to a clean point, run regedit: MSBlast, Deleat all references. Install the patch from a disk download. Don't use your oldest restore, (give something to fall back on). I don't think File Checker would hurt if you can't get it to run right. Sfc/scannow, from command prompt. You will need your XP installation CD, to run File Checker.
