Answer : windows cannot fine sys.exe file

Hi I picked up a cold for a couple of days much better now,
thanks for snaps they worked a treat, and this happens on both C drive and d drive,
well I believe you have some kind of corruption looks like we have come full circle, I needed to clarify that your drives were not external or usb drives.
You say you have scanned with your AV is it update?

==============
Perform a reinstallation of Windows XP, sometimes called a repair installation?

You will need the COA key on the sticker and the xp setup disc that is installed on the computer ie xpsp2 setup disc.

Configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive. Then insert your Windows XP Setup CD, and restart your computer.

When the Press any key to boot from CD message is displayed on your screen, press a key to start your computer from the Windows XP CD.
 
Press ENTER when you see the message To setup Windows XP now, and then press ENTER displayed on the Welcome to Setup screen.
 
 Do not choose the option to press R to use the Recovery Console.
 
In the Windows XP Licensing Agreement, press F8 to agree to the license agreement.
 
 Make sure that your current installation of Windows XP is selected in the box, and then press R to repair Windows XP.
 
 Follow the instructions on the screen to complete Setup.
