Since you haven't told us what version and service pack level of XP you
have or whether your machine is OEM (HP, Sony, Compaq, etc.) it isn't
possible to give you specific advice. You will need to run the System
File Checker (Start>Run sfc /scannow [enter]) but you will need the
correct XP cd for your system. The best course of action might be to
take the machine to a good local professional (not a BestBuy or CompUSA
type of store).
