Thanks for the information. If my computer worked for about a week after I
did part 1 of the recovery, do you think I had Internet Explorer 7? It worked
fine. I just can't remember which version I had, this computer is upstairs
and I use it mainly for pictures, video and music projects.

Since you failed to uninstall IE7 prior to doing the Repair Install, your
only recourse now is to back-up any personal data (none of which should be
considered 100% trustworthy at this point) then do a format & clean install
of Windows.
Please note that another Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT fix
this nor will installing IE7 or IE8!
cf.http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps
After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

I have windows xp professional I do not know what bit, I can not get on
for
any futher details. I have not download explorer 8 on this desk top. But
I
believe it did have ie7. My computer was set to download all updates
automaticlly.
When I restarted my computer a couple of weeks ago I got a
window/system32/config/system error. I did a cd repair as recommended by
microsoft Q307545. I did part 1 and my system restored and worked fine
for a couple weeks and then again the other day I got the same system
error and xp would not boot. I thought no problem, go back to the same
system restore and when I put in my cd and hit r for repair and after I
chose my drive, I started to type
md tmp and I got error - md tmp already exists. So I am confused, was I
supposed to do all the parts that were listed in this solution? Or
should
I be able to go under safe mode and get to the system restore I did a
couple of weeks ago? Help!! I don't want to lose pictures and music! If
anyone has solution, please remember I am probably just a little bit
above
average computer smart. Thanks for the help!

That error is common after an aborted restart, non gradeful shutdown
or power interruption.
Before you started this adventure, did your computer experience a
power interruption?
If the file system was compromised, that should be checked first.
Boot your Recovery Console CD and run:
chkdsk /f
Then continue troubleshooting.
If you followed the KB once, the tmp folder already exists, so the md
tmp will fail (as it should). You could go through the process of
deleting the previously created tmp folder, recreating it, following
the article, etc. but that would get very annoying after a bit. You
could make it work, but that is not your problem.
Having to periodically copy the files over is not a solution and means
you still have a problem someplace else.
