You're going to have to acquire a CD somewhere in order to fix this problem. This is not a file you can download, it is the system hive of the registry and is unique to each machine. Start here to repair: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

Thank you for your help. Does that mean, if I get anyone's Windows XP on a CD it will work or does it need to be the one specific for my machine?

It should match what is installed on your system (including service pack level)
