There's a problem with my windows, though. I can't log in to any of my users, it says the windows' corrupt.

In that case if it's that bad a complete re install of Windows is the only resort in my opinion.

You have pretty much answered your own question, and any issues you are having. You'll have to do what Ted mentioned and reinstall Windows.

Any time that happens, you should be attempting to repair or reinstall Windows. OS corruption will lead to a variety of other problems, including security and stability ones.

Have you been afflicted with malware in the past?

One thing you can do is grab your Windows install disc, or make a new one of the same exact Windows XP installation you have - moderator note: this is not illegal at all, since all you are really paying for is the right to use the operating system (serial key). Microsoft provides ISOs of their operating systems. Every link to Microsoft OS's here is microsoft.com.
You can use the CD to initiate a repair, which will replace corrupt files with their originals. If you have not modified anything within your operating system (themes, explorer, etc... I fuxwitdat all the time) then you should not notice much change, aside from the fact that everything will work.

If that fails somehow, reinstall windows. That is the fix-all solution. If you want some personal help, just PM me or message me on skype.

Only if you use the same, exact version and already own a copy of the license for it, as the downloads would then simply be just media. Having the license key isn't an "all versions will work" sort of thing.

That is implied. The license will not work for any other version.
