Have you tried using the System Restore? I did the same thing,didn't like it and used system restore to set it back to the day before I installed it.

Can you borrow an XP pro installation disk so that you can carryout a repair/install?
You will need an identical disk to yours ie: if it is XP pro with SP1 or SP2. A repair/install will not format your harddrive and delete your personal files it simply replaces a lot of the system files, restoring your OS to almost as it was when originally installed.
