    The following will correct any Windows systems files that may be corrupt or missing:

    Put the Windows XP disc in the computer. If the installation program opens, exit from the setup program.
    Then click the Start button and select Run...
    Type cmd in the box and press OK.
    At the prompt, type sfc /scannow and press return.
    When it has finished reboot your machine.

    Hope that helps.
