Answer 1

Restore WindowsXP to System Default

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/xpsysrst.mspx

Feature: System Restore
When to use it: You recently updated a device driver, and using Device Driver Roll Back did not restore stability to your system. You must be logged on as an administrator to use this feature.
What it does: Restores all system and application settings back to those that were in effect at a point in time you specify. Undoes key application, driver, and operating system file changes made since that time. Does not affect data files.
Available on: Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional.

Note: Before I attempt a download, I close all open programs (except antivirus), download, and save to the desktop. Then, run the download from the desktop. This way, you can move the program/download to some other place on your computer where you save downloads.

Answer 2

you can try system restore.
