If you don't want to do a repair install, and you have an XP disk, use the Recovery Console:

Link here for guidance how to enter Safe Mode;
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

When you're there, use the arrow keys to select "Last Known Good Configuration: This option starts Windows by using the previous good configuration", then press Enter.

Good luck.

This works for me

Start your computer from safe mode with command prompt. You must be an administrator or have admin. rights.
When you get to the command prompt type %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe then press enter.This will put you at the system restore window.Good luck.
