I have the same problem and everytime I turn on my computer the system restore thing pops up =\ what do i do?

I tried everything it didn't work. I bought a new xp cd for like $64 and installed it and now it works perfectly.

Oh I fixed it now. I just downloaded the install taskbar plus or something and my taskbar and desktop came right back up (:
