I would create two new user accounts and make a test of the Fast User Switching system. If it still fails I would run a 'Repair' or
Upgrade setup. If not, you can copy the data to new profiles

How to copy data from a corrupted user profile to a new profile: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151

If you run an XP "Upgrade"setup, from the original, or "Gold" version of the setup CD, and you have SP2 installed, it might go into
a setup loop, and you could lose your install. Uninstall SP2, BEFORE you Upgrade setup from CD (that lacks sp2 on it.)
