Either use the disc that came with it, or you can order the disc from the manufacturer, or if you computer has a restore point you set up from when you got it, you should be able to reset it to that. You can also go through safe mode, which is the dos looking screen when you first boot up, catch it inthe blue or black screen and follow the directions.

System Restore (Enable, Disable, Clear) WinXP
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_restore.htm
Reinstall System Restore
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/repairsr.htm
To enable or disable System Restore, perform the following steps:
Start the System Control Panel applet. Select the System Restore tab. Clear the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" check box to enable System Restore, or select this check box to disable System Restore. Click OK. Also here:
To delete older restore points, but leave the system restore turned on: Right Click the Drive in question/Properties/Disk Cleanup/More Options/System Restore/Cleanup.
You can also click the Settings button to set a maximum amount of space that you want each drive to use for restore information. If the drive you select isn't the system drive, you can also disable System Restore on a per-drive basis. The maximum amount of space that you can use for restore information is 12 percent per drive.
An alternative to the usual method of enabling and disabling Windows XP's System Restore feature is to use the registry. To use this alternative, perform the following steps: Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore.
If a "DisableSR" value doesn't exist, go to the Edit menu, select New, DWORD value, and create the value.
Set the value to 1 to disable System Restore or 0 to enable System Restore.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sr to prevent the System Restore service from starting.
Double-click Start, and set the value to 4 to stop the service from starting or to 0 for normal startup. Close the registry editor.

It should have come with a "restore cd", or something similar. Put it in the cd drive and restart your computer, then just follow the instructions.
