get your Windows XP CD insert it into the drive reboot and choose repair installation.

1st run an updated antivirus software like AVG or Norton, if you dont have any, you can download the AVG free version at www.grisoft.com if there are no viruses then do the repair using win xp CD, ie. 1st boot with the cd & select the repair option after the licence agreement.

Could also run restore to an earlier date (week before the problem occured), will kill most viruses by deleting all references to them.
