Try using System Restore in Windows XP to restore your Windows XP back to
normal. Here how you do this:

Go Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools
Scroll down and click on System Restore icon. This will start System Restore
program. Now select the option Restore my computer to an earlier time. Then
click Next button. There is a calendar to the left side. Find a day in the
month that your
control panel was working normally. You can only pick the dark blue numbers
that are the restore points where Windows XP has made a recovery point
because of your Windows system has changed because of software and/or
hardware changes . When you click on one of the dark blue numbers the day is
highlighted in blue. Find a dark blue number that has the time and the
description of the system change either software installed or uninstalled or
hardware installed or hardware removed. Pick the one that is appropriate and
click next and follow the instructions on the screen. That should restore
your Windows XP system back to normal.

You can also create a restore point when there are no software or hardware
installed. Do this by:

Go Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools
Scroll down and click on System Restore icon. This will start System Restore
program. Now select the option Create a restore point. Then click the Next
button
Enter a name or description of the Restore point and then click Create. Then
follow the instructions on the screen. Then your created Windows Restore
point is done.

Hope this helps you.
