John;
Try System Restore:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
Select Date/Time before issue started.
If necessary, you can download SP-2 or order SP-2 on CD per step 1 on
this link.

Insert the CD or double click the download to start installation of
SP-2, but SP-2 may not solve this problem since it does not seem like
an SP-2 issue.
You may be better off taking this to a Windows XP newsgroup:
