Also click on "Everest Instructions" in my sig and follow the steps.
You can probably get the CD from your manufacturer or a friend. (As long as the CD is the same XP version (Home or Pro) and it has the same service pack that was installed when you bought your computer)

the problem about doing the everest instructions is that i cant even go to the desktop on my laptop so i wont be able to run a report on it
Oh yea, I never thought about that. Hp computers have a recovery partition that you can use to recover your PC.

Read that, and you should do a non-destructive recovery in order to keep all your data and programs. After the recovery, you should update AV software and install the latest XP hotfixes.
EDIT: First of all, how did this problem happen in the first place. We could then try to fix it without a recovery.
