Windows hangs after logging in

Windows recently had an error that required me to repair the system.

Now, when I log in to my account, I first get a message telling me that I
have to activate Windows. I click 'yes', and it brings me to the desktop, but
there are no icons, and no taskbar.

I'll also occasionally get an error about either 'msfeedssync.exe' or
something like 'seachindex.exe'.

I tried reinstalling Windows - that all seems to work fine. However, when
you get to the end of the process, the installation takes me to a smaller
version of the boot screen - without the blue loading bar, instead with
'Please Wait'.

It does nothing after this. I switch off the computer and restart it, and I
get the first problem I described originally.

I can log on to safe mode, however. I’ve tried disabling all the processes
through msconfig.exe, but even after removing all of them from startup, I
still cannot log in to Windows normally.

I'm running Windows XP Professional.

The disc I used to install and repair Windows had Service Pack 2 on it.

Click to expand...

Integrate SP3 and create a new bootable CD.

Use it to do another repair (in-place) installation.
