You may just need to do a repair install of windows. That file is a system file that windows needs to run correctly. Just do a repair install for it to reinstall that file and it should be ok.

To do a repair install. Just start your computer and then boot up and log into windows and then put in your windows XP CD and then run the CD. And from the auto start page that follows one of the options is a repair install. Click that and then it will take you through the rest.

Your computer should boot up normally. Try not pressing anything and see if it continues the boot up process. If that does not work try putting in the Windows CD and booting it and doing a clean install of just windows without formatting.
