For (relatively) minor problems, use SFC
Start > Run > cmd
sfc /scannow
have your XP CD
sfc - system file checker, retrieves the correct version of the file from %Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache or the Windows installation source files, and then replaces the incorrect file.

If you want to see what was replaced, right click My Computer > manage, expand event viewer > system.
