First thought can you boot into Safe Mode (by tapping F8 continuously as the PC boots).
If not - Second thought do a repair install from an original XP CD. You may need the CD Key which hopefully is glued on that PC.

iv recently had some experience fixing the sort of issue with my computer.
use your windows installation disk to run recovery console(press R for repair at the setup screen) once its loaded select the correct drive/partition(probly the number 1) and then enter the command "chkdsk/f/r". there cud be a space between chkdsk and /f/r. the f part repairs and replaces any files that are damaged or missing. the r part fixes any bad sectors on the disk and recovers any data from those sectors oo yea safe mode 1st wud be the best proccess to follow lol |
