The best thing to do is to repair reinstall windows xp from the cd-rom here how.

1 Insert your original Windows XP CD You still have the CD, right?

2 Restart your computer, and, when prompted, press any key to boot off the CD.

3 You'll get to a screen that talks about the recovery console Skip that, and proceed like you're going to install windows again Don't worry, you're not going to lose anything.

4 After the license agreement, you'll get a screen that lists the partitions on your hard drive There should be only one If there's more than one, choose the one that you know has windows on it, or choose the largest one Then, if memory serves correct, you're to press enter to install windows to the partition (that's NOT what we want) or to press 'R' to repair That's what we want.

5 Follow the rest of the directions.

if you dont want to reinstall repair winxp try using the recovery console and run

sfc /scannow

That's the system file checker, it verifies all files and replaces any with errors.

I hope that helps Good Luck.
