Press the ctrl + alt + delete keys together to get task manager
Click file then new task, type explorer.exe and press enter
You should then be able to reboot and Windows shuld load the desktop, if not, retrace the above then
Click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter to replace the system files, you need the XP CD.
System File Check will show an on screen blue progress bar, reboot when the bar goes
This is for a blank desktop, which would have the wallpaper and no icons, which is different to it stopping at a black screen

Start the System Restore tool at a command prompt
1. Restart your computer, and keep tapping F8 during the initial start-up until you get options, select Safe Mode with a command prompt then press enter.
2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.
Look for a recent system checkpoint to restore from
For additional information about the Safe mode with a command prompt, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

I can't logon to any user. When I try safe mode, it goes onto the "black screen" again.

You can use these to repair XP
XP Repair Install
Or here if you are unable to run XP Repair Install
Alternative XP Repair Install Method
Use Windows Installation CD to repair the current installation, from the list, which uses a slightly different method
Windows XP repair feature won't delete your data, installed programs, personal information, or settings. It just repairs the operating system
After running XP Repair you will need to install all Windows Updates
Microsoft Update

Howdy:
Well, seeing as though you are answering all Keith's posts thus far, I have to assume you are on a system that doesn't have a blank screen..
So, common sense would say to "go to the links Keith provided and print out the instructions"..
