I think we need a whole load more information to diagnose your problem at a distance. Exact message text would help; also exactly where in the sequence does the message occur? Can you now log on to your user account? One of the things we have to establish is what destabilised your system in the first place.
So exactly what happens when you press what when Windows comes up?

I couldnt enter into the d:\i386 and also i couldnt REN files...coz i didnt know wht are the old file names i need to REN with the new ones, If u can suggest in very detailed manner...i shall be very grateful.
You would rename the files indicated in the method *.old. Then you would haul the replacements off the \i386 folder using the expand command.
As for \i386 - if you can get windows to boot in repair mode, there will be an i386 folder on the CD. Can't help you there!

I see your problem.
I have two XP Pro Upgrade disks. One just has a Contents & a Software directory and no i386 inside.
The other (in a box marked Windows XP Pro version 2002 has the I386 directory in the root of the CD.
So that suggestion is of little use to you unless you can find a web location from which to download the files (someone on the forum might know ehere).

You could kill Trend AV from the Task Manager Processes tab, I'd have thought.
