Try to reinstall XP. It usually clears all this missing/broken system files for me. There is option for it, if you are loading from CD, and installer can found already installed Windows.

Also, I am using Dr.Web for purposes of resident antivirus and clearing. Successfully. Last 12 years. Fortunately, in Russia some computer magazines offer month-length "free" keys, and fortunately, my office subscribed to one such magazine.

And if you don't want to use it on 24/7 basis, there is option "Free cure" on main page that will give you full stand-alone scanner CureIt! as exe file or rescue CD.
