I wasn’t saying you have to install XP all over again, at least not as long there are other things we can try. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.
Ok, other selfextracters also won’t work. I presume you have got them trusted sites. eg. (www.microsoft.com www.cnet.com etc.) See if you can find a archive program in zipped format, or not packed at all. Install that one and use it to try opening one of the selfextracting files. Let us know if that works.
