To access the System Restore Wizard, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Using System Restore to undo changes, and then click Run the System Restore Wizard.
While the computer is in safe mode, System Restore does not create any restore points. Therefore, you cannot undo a restoration that you performed when the computer was in safe mode.
You can use System Restore to restore your computer to any restore point while in safe mode. If you cannot start the computer in standard mode, you can use System Restore to restore to a time when you could start the computer without errors.
To restore to a time when your computer started without errors, select a restore point as close to the time you remember it last started without errors.
If System Restore is suspended because of insufficient disk space, you cannot enable it by making more disk space available while in safe mode. You must restart the computer in standard mode and make more disk space available.

i cant get into that menu it only shows the microsoft windows xp and it wont go any further
if i understood correctly you have gotten the computer to boot into safe mode?if so then the instructions i have posted to access system restore still stand.
do you have a recovery console enabled?you will lose what you have on the disk when you restore factory settings but i think this might be your only option.if you dont have a recovery console you might have to lay your hands on a disk and use your serial key.
