Service Pack Files missing in XP

I am getting errors with Word, task manager and nearly everything is crashing more than I would like. getting a message that Files are missing from

C;/Windows/servicepackfiles/i386/mswincrt.man


See systems administrator or reload service pack. I don't have the former and don't know how to do the latter. Loaded the XP cd but nothing obvious. Could find a folder i386 but where to paste?


Help anyone?

Reinstall the service pack ...n also try using the system file checker open run n enter "sfc /all"

Hi Vnet,
forgive my ignorance but when I insert XP cd don't get an obvious choice for " reinstall SP? Can you point me. A million thanks in advance. The world is better when strangers help each other.
