My desktop is messed up, while checking email a Norton message popped up and said it blocked some trojan's. and now whenever I try starting it in any mode, it says system32\config\SysEvent.EVT file is corrupted, check disk utility. Not sure what to do about this. If it won't let me do anything how am I supposed to fix it?

It's XP will an option come up to either repair or install?

Okay, put your XP disc in the boot from it.
There will be 3 options, the second option asks you to press "R" to start a repair install.

Do so, and it can repair that damaged file.
