system restore should solve the problem, restore the system to a certain date where he'd /she'd wants it and it should work then

Well, since you/your friend have windows xp you should have restore points of which automatically save on your computer. Your computer can go back to the last working setting by him tapping f4 while the computer is turning on. This should ask you how you want to start up your computer....like safe mode, without network, or command prompt. You will scroll down to the 'last working setting of windows' or something like that. Hope it helps. :)
