The problem is not related to the video drivers, unless the registry got corrupted for some unknown reason during the last shutdown-restart and now the PC can't access the registry correctly. Try doing a recovery install of windows xp, that get's rid of any driver problems and corrupted files or registry.

If I was you i'd backup all my data and do a fresh format. Nothing like a fresh install....
