One thing you can try:
Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...
Have your XP CD handy as it will ask for it....
Let it finish, remove the CD and re-boot.

Have you been customising and/or playing with turning some services off by chance ? ?
Many of them are co-dependent and need others to run properly.

Go to Start --> Run --> Type msconfig and press Enter.
Go to the Services Tab and make sure Help And Support is ticked.
