Windows is telling you that you should run a repair installation, this usually happens when a necessary system file has been corrupted... You need to do a repair install. If you have a windows xp installation CD follow these steps.

If you have a system restore CD that came with your computer boot to first CD, You may have to enter your bios setup to have the computer boot to your cd rom.

The original setup CD should have come with your computer when you bought it and it should be labeled Setup CD or some such. If you didn't get one, or lost the one you got, you should be able to contact the manufacturer for a replacement. It'll cost you a few bucks to get a new one.

You need the original CD which was used to install Windows.
If you can't find the CD, you can contact MS for the product key. They might send you a new CD.
