Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter to replace the system files, you need the XP CD and get a blue bar, reboot when the bar goes

thanks keith! however i ve spent all day looking high and low for my xp cd and it can not be found! are there any other ways, or should i borrow someone elses?

You can borrow the same version disc to do this, as you are only replacing system files

Have you tried changing the theme back to XP Style instead of classic in display properties? If you have and it didn't work or XP Style doesn't show, then go here and download resources.zip

Make sure you when extract it, the destination is c:\Windows.
(where c: is the partition where XP is installed).
Go to Display Properties and XP stlye will be back.
