The first thing I would suggest to do is to run a virus protector program. You can run any of many free ones on the net.  Also read this.   http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Message Edited by aps@sun on 12-30-200608:18 AM

If all the scans for malware come up clean, run the XP system file checker:
click start>run
type in: sfc /scannow
(space between sfc and /)
click ok
Insert XP CD if sfc requests it and reboot when it's done.

I am having the same problem and it clearly started with an automatic Windows Update.  I used System Restore to go back a week and it works again.  There are some links on Microsoft talking about this problem as being specific to certain computers.  My research continues...
