I got pissed off one day from the popups and my cd rom drive not working that I deleted some reg files and some files in the windows folder, now two days later I can install kazaa and use it just fine until I restart my computer then whenever I try to open it, it just closes instantly. I tried a rollback, but it didnt really help, I also deleted most of my previous checkpoints, I don't know if theres somewhere where you can download the required windows files or if there is some way to fix it, because I don't feel like having to constantly reinstall programs every time i restart my computer.
Thank you.

If you don't have a restore point that fixes the problem. Boot up with your XP CD and choose the repair option. It will replace any missing or corrupted files.
Big drawback is you will have to reinstall SP1 and all patches that have been downloaded and installed.
