Do a repair install. This link will give you screen shots and instructions. Your personal settings and data will not be affected but you will have to reinstall any updates, patches, etc. that came out after your install disk was manufactured. I selected XP Pro but the steps are the same for XP Home:

If you have some other operating system, you can find it at this link:

Do a repair installation of Windows XP using your installation cd. It will boot into setup and you need to select the option -- it will then replace the system files on your hard drive while leaving your personal data intact.

You may have accidentally downloaded the recent Contra Virus. You can find out how to detect and remove it here:
