Kenny;
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last Known Good Configuration" at the menu.
If that does not succeed, reboot again tapping F8.
This time choose Safe Mode at the menu.
Then use System Restore to get to date/time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
Otherwise perform a Repair Installation of Windows XP:
