No.

You can borrow an XP CD of the exact same version you have installed and try a repair installation (it is perfectly legal to do this). Boot to the CD and choose the second repair option, allowing XP to install on top of itself. All programs and settings will remain intact. You will have to go to Microsoft Update and install all updates after doing the repair.

NOTE: You cannot use the borrowed cd to do a new or clean install - only the repair install.
