re-install the Windows XP OS, that's my advice.

That's crazy! Don't do that. Have you tried opening it from the most basic levels? The download file might also have been corrupt or something. So reinstall it and re-download it. If that doesn't work, it's beyond me.

You could reinstall as a repair, the first repair option you get will be to use the recovery console, go on past that, and you wil get an option to repair XP, use that one, then reapply any service packs. should restore all the windows system files and leave the registry and applications intact. Do not use a manufacturers recovery disk, these almost always format the drive in the process..
