It seems to be occurring due to some corrupt system files or invalid registry settings.
As you are on Xp, click start>run then type 'sfc /scannow' without the quotes. this will scan all the system files if they are intact are are tampered. If tempered then you will be asked to insert the XP installation disc, insert the disc and the original system files will be automatically copied from the disc.
