If all else fails, you can create a new XP CD slipstreamed with SP2 and do a Repair
Install, see if that fixes it. You'll need a system that has a CD burner and your
XP CD.
The simplest way to create a Bootable Windows XP Pro or Home
Installation CD Slipstreamed with SP2 is to use Autostreamer. You point to your XP
Pro CD, the SP2 Service Pack .exe file, give it a path to write the .iso file to
and off it goes.
In 5 or 10 minutes you have a .iso file that you can burn to CD with almost any
CD burner program you want to use. I used Roxio 7. Then you install using the new
CD.
Here is the link to Autostreamer:

You can download the SP2 .exe here:
