I have a laptop under XP Home Ed SP3 who is stuck in a loop of connection. Can anyone help?

I have a laptop running XP Home SP3 Ed who is stuck in a loop of connection, in other words, when I try to log on it says "loading your personal settings" will Flash on the desktop for a fraction of a second and then says "saving your settings" and brings back me to the right at the log on screen.

I do not have the XP disc to reinstall and there is no recovery console to access. I've seen on many other forums that the problem may be with the userinit.exe file and I tried to copy this file in front of my PC - but with the fact that it is Windows 7 64 bit I don't really expect to work. Is it possible to download the correct version of this file from anywhere?

Another thought I had was to install a different version of Windows XP from an old obsolete machine and I was wondering if it would be possible to transfer the product key?

Managed to get windows reinstalled - all sorted now. Thanks for the suggestions.
