Thanks accyman.
Looks like I'm going to have to take the hard drive out (aaarrrgggghhh!) and then put it in a different pc, as we don't have the original XP disc as we bought it from one of those shops that refurbish them (since closed down).
Is it hard to take the hard drive out??
I had to buy a new pc as soon as that one went belly up, I can't live without my pc, and my daughter has an old one she plays games on, so I'll probably put it on that one in case I mess it up!
Thanks again to everyone for all their help
