This is the shotgun approach, but it should fix the problem.

Set the BIOS so that the CD drive is the first boot device.

Place your XP CD in the drive.

Re-install XP.

That should correct the problem, and there will be no data loss.

The problem is you are running windows XP with only 64MB's of RAM. Go out and buy some additional ram, it is cheap right now. I would suggest bare minimum of 256 MB of ram. Windows itself is a pig on memory and once you start to run applications such as office, your system will jsut lock up as there is no ram left to run it. You say you are allowing the system to allocate paging file? How much hard drive space do you have left on your C:\ drive?
I can assure you, there is probably nothing wrong with your system that some extra ram would not fix.
Good luck!

Mike
