If this doesn't cure your problem and you haven't run anything like Tweak UI you can try the trial version of System Mechanic to scan for errors on your HDD and within Windows

Just [b]Do Not[/b] use the remove Duplicate Files Option as it will stop your System from working at all.
If all of the above fail to cure your problem a [b]Repair Installation of Windows[/b] is your only option left Put your XP CD into the CD Drive and boot from it and when you get to the Install section chose the [b]Repair Option[/b] this will reinstall windows and keep all of your current software working and provided that you don't have a software clash causing the problem should fix it for you.
