First, my windows are square again. I change them to round, and it doesnt change. It is still square.

Second, none of my icons are showing on my desktop, but when I go to the Desktop folder they are all there.

Third, WinXP won't run MS-DOS programs.

Fourth, Windows Media Player uninstalled, and now it refuses to install.

I appreciate any and all help.

For desktop icons:
Download the following script from Kelly's Korner and run it:
enabledisabledesktopicons.vbs.

Can you give more details about the other issues.
What error message, if any do you recive when you run Ms-DOS appz or when you install Windows Media Player?
Also I dont get what you mean by the following:

First, my windows are square again. I change them to round, and it doesnt change. It is still square.

Windows are meant to be square.
Are you using any 3rd party software to make it round?

[The Colonel]

no, i jus liked the rounded windows XP format, i have dcided to do a fresh repair

[darth_ash]

Ok, You meant the Windows Xp theme.
Right-click on Desktop, click Properties to open Display Properties, click on Themes tab, in the drop-down box choose Windows XP.
Also go through the rest of Post#4 again.
