It is probably a worm or remments of a worm. This is a visual basic worm, probably written by script kiddies, and luckily has low damage/infection potential.

Best to clean out your system with good antivirus and anti-malware software.

Jus put in the original XP disc into the CD rom, restart and follow the instruction.

 

things to note though :

 

you need to find out the model of your laptop in the net and download the drivers. XP may not have your laptop drivers in their disc.

What's is the model of your laptop ?

 

Some laptop have built in recovery image in the hidden partition of the HDD one . (Like IBM Lenovo or Acer etc)

 

IBM is pressing the thinkvantage button .

 

Acer is using their E-recovery button i think.

 

Other models varies .

 

Some can recovery it to factory default state or back to best know working state/date for the laptop. etc.
