If you've been hit with some kind of virus/trojan, that has disabled

And you've only got a Guest account in XP Home?

As above a mate has this prob. is there any way to fix it, besides
formatting??

Any info appreciated

Thanx

Tell your friend to boot into Safe Mode and try to log on with the
built-in Administrator account. To boot into Safe Mode, restart the
computer and start hitting the F8 key as soon as the system reboots. Use
the UP arrow key to select Safe Mode from the menu.

Good luck
