First. Here is a link to a source of many XP fixes. Go to #285 and to the right hand panel. Click on the link that says; "Restore All Display Tabs." Save the .REG file to your Desktop and run it from there.

You may also want to perform an XP System Restore by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. There you can select a date prior to when the issue began. This can also be done in Safe Mode.
Second. When you have a computer problem, create a new Question thread. By posting a Reply to someone that appears to have had a similar problem, you probably will not get a response or the response you are looking for.
Third. It is never a good idea to post your email address in a forum thread! These postings remain available on line for a VERY long time and unscrupulous visitors or spam proliferators can add your address to their 'hit list.' Therefore, If I were you, I'd edit your post and remove your address!
If someone has a possible solution to your issue, they will reply to your post rather than sending you an email. That's the way it's done here.
Unless of course, you are one of those 'unscrupulous' people and are just fishing for an email address yourself. If that's the case, you are in the wrong place!
I hope this helps.
