Go here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down to line 195 right hand column and download the file. Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it and answer yes to the import prompt.

Can you download it, move it to his machine and run it?

The above fix is a known solution but rereading your post suggests to me that nothing, or very little, is able to run. There are other things to try like 'repairing' XP and restoring the system to a previous state.

Let us know how you/he gets on.
