After boot up and username and password is added, the program starts buts ends abruptly with an error message that file in Explorer is missing. I tried to reinstall XP professional (Academic edition) but nothing happens and I cannot proceed with the installation. Any suggestions.

Did you do a clean install with a low/high level format of hard drive?
Just use DOS FDISK command to first erase and create partitions and then use FORMAT. Or just delete/create/format partitions upon install of windows XP.
In the event of a corrupted master boot record or boot block virus, use FDISK /MBR command to restore the master boot record. If you need to low level format your hard drive then check the drive manufacturer and download such an utility from its website. Every drive manufacturer provides just such a utility.
