Time to read up on how to do a xp repair.

Basically if you have a xp cd you boot to it and do a repair instead of an install. It may be your easiest choice.

I guess you could use safe mode (F8 at boot)with verbose and see what is faulting maybe.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
