If that doesn't work you can use Reimage which totally repairs XP computers.http://www.askthecomputerdoc.com/blog/reimage-repa...

It may cost you $65 for a repair, so if that is an issue for you contact them to check pricing.

If you can get to safe mode and can get malwarebytes installed on the affected computer, you can use malwarebytes to clean it. Rvhost looks to be a malware file so you wouldn't need to replace it.

Umm, I wouldn't strongly recommend this but it worked for me.

A few months ago I deleted a windows file and that stopped me from accessing windows at all. Safe mode does not work once you've deleted them. I contacted microsoft back then and I was advised on trying creating an extra partition on the pc and then moving the "deleted" file from the new partition to the old one. It worked on mine, but I've no guarantees for yours.

i am not to sure what that might be but i would try spybot. its free at downlaod

.com or yahoo it. it not only gets rid of spyware but it fixed some of the things wrong with my pc.

the best part about it is that its free. so i would try that.

let me know how it works.
