Meir,
Here is an excerpt from the XP help column.
An to answer your question, YES, XP does have a SAFE mode.
I think these suggestions here will get you up and running.
I have been using XP for a few months and find it (almost) Bullet proof

Have you tried repairing your installation of Windows XP?
Running Windows Setup from the Windows CD can often repair a damaged Windows
installation.
To repair your installation of Windows
1.. Place the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
If the Windows CD displays the What would you like to do? menu, click
Exit.
2.. Turn off your computer, wait ten seconds, and then turn your computer
back on.
If you are prompted to start your computer from the CD, do so.
3.. After Windows XP Setup starts, press ENTER to continue the setup
process.
4.. Press ENTER to choose the option To set up Windows XP now, press
ENTER. Do not choose the Recovery Console option.
5.. Press F8 to accept the licensing agreement.
6.. At this point, the Setup program will search for previous
installations of Windows XP. If Setup does not find a previous installation
of Windows XP, then you might have a hardware failure. Click No, I still
have a problem when I try to start Windows below, and then click Next to
continue troubleshooting.
If Setup does find a previous installation of Windows XP, then the
following message will appear:
" If one of the following Windows XP installations is damaged, setup can
try to repair it.
Use the up and down arrows to select an installation.
To repair the selected installation Press R.
To continue without repairing, Press Esc."
Choose the appropriate installation of Windows XP, and then press R to
attempt to repair it.
7.. Follow the remaining directions on your screen.
Notes
a.. You might need to change the boot drive sequence in your BIOS settings
in order to successfully start your computer from the Windows CD. Contact
the manufacturer of your computer, or see your manufacturer's documentation,
for more information.
b.. If you are unable to start your computer from the Windows XP CD, then
you might have a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive failure or other hardware failure.
Hardware failures are beyond the scope of this troubleshooter. Consult a
computer hardware specialist for further assistance or try the Hardware
troubleshooter.
