Have you tried booting into Safe Mode and getting to your control panel from there? I'm not a tech or computer whiz, but you're supposed to be able to boot into Safe Mode and fix things from there. Also, you may need to do a Fix from the CD that XP came from. That's all I can think of right off the bat.

To help clear things up so that possibly someone with more expertise than myself will be able to help, where did you do the full install from? A certified Windows XP CD, or did you install it from one computer to another? Also, the programs that you installed...were they original installations, or did you do a backup from one computer and are now attempting to install them on a different computer? You have to be more specific about exactly what you were doing and how you were doing it for anyone to be able to help you. :-)
