You were right! That worked like a charm. Thank you *SO* much for your help!
I had some problems getting the link you posted below to work, so I pasted
the instructions below:
Insert the Windows XP startup disk into the floppy disk drive, or insert the
Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive, and then restart the computer.
Click to select any options that are required to start the computer from the
CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
When the "Welcome to Setup" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery
Console.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the installation
that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
When you are prompted to do so, type the Administrator password. If the
administrator password is blank (which is likely the case if Windows XP was
preinstalled by your computer manufacturer), just press ENTER.
You should now be in the Windows installation folder. Note this location,
as it will be necessary for steps later in this article.
At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following lines, pressing
ENTER after you type each line:
cd system32
copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe
exit
At this time, remove the startup floppy or CD-ROM from your system, and boot
into Windows XP. Log on to the system using an account with
administrator-level privileges, and edit the registry using this information.
