Something quite major is wrong in that case. What is the history of the
machine? Did this problem start recently and/or was there an event that may
have caused this such as virus infection, etc.?
At this point, I would recommend backing up all important data (just to be
safe) and performing an in-place re-installation upgrade of the system.
This should reinstall the entire operating system while maintaining data,
settings and installed applications.
This can be done from a command window with the Windows CD in the drive:
<CD drive>:\i386\winnt32 /unattend
If cd drive is e: then it would be 'e:\i386\winnt32 /unattend'
