Can I reset the registry using the "last known good configuration" tool in
safe mode or am I going to have to do a complete reformat and install? In
other words can I do this without the WindowsXP disc because if not I may as
well go ahead and do a recovery disc number and reformat right? I have no
access to the system restore function through the normal means, wow is this
frustrating!

Here is a Knowledge Base article to help you:

Corrupted Registry that Prevents Windows from Starting

Since we don't have any details about your computer or what happened,
you can't get a more specific answer. Under normal circumstances, you
do need an XP cd to do advanced repairs. If you only have a "restore
disk" type of cd, you might want to consider taking the machine to a
good local repair shop if you don't want to return the machine to
factory condition.
