Hello Steve,

The best, cheapest and quickest way to fix this problem
and get done within an hour:
- Boot to the WinXP CD
- Select Repair and follow other screen instructions.
- After it Reboots and when you get to the Desktop, go to
the Windows Update Site and download them again.
 
If you would like to correspond further, I have created a
temporary email address you can contact me at and I have
images that would show more details about how to do this:
 
REINSTALL.XP.TOSH382@SUPPORT-IT.GNIS.NET
 
Sincerely,
 
Craig McIntosh
