1--I had a virus corrupt some files in WIN XP SP2. How can I repair
the OS without a complete re-format/re-install of OS?


See "How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

2--If I have to do a re-install of WIN XP SP2, how does this affect
Activation ...


You will have to reactivate.


...since it's been already Activated once?


That's not an issue at all. You can activate as many times as you
need to. The only (slight) issue is that if you activate fewer than
120 days since the last activtion, you'll be prompted to activate by
voice call to an 800 number.
