Got an xp boot cd? Boot to it and enter the recovery console (you'll see the option to push R and enter the console), once at the command line type "chkdsk /r" (without quotes)
Hope that helps.

I had that happen a couple of years ago (was time for a reformat anyway), then found this for "next time"...
1.Restart the computer in safe mode/safe mode command prompt.
2.Go to the windows\system32 directory
3.Find and delete explorer.exe & system32.dll (ONLY from the
windows\system32 directory)
4.Go to the windows\ directory & delete secure.html
5.Restart the computer
6.Search for files called "HOSTS" (with no file extention) & delete them (usually 2)
7.Modify your homepage settings in IE to your favourite homepage.
8.Restart your computer & run all your programs to check you have a sucessfull "erradication".
Hints:
- be cautious, not to delete the original "explorer.exe" in the windows\-directory or the original "hosts" file in
Windows\system32\drivers\etc\. The malware files are smaller (about 4-5kB) and have a more actual date.

Yeah, that's a good one. I forget how I fixed it, but it was a muther. I hate PCs with a passion now. Get a mac and don't look back...

thanks for the responses.
i have a feeling our next computer will be a mac... just too many problems with windows... and i consider myself fairly computer-literate, if not a wiz.

it won't even boot up in safe mode... gives the same missing/corrupt line.
my wife is going to try the chkdsk /r command, and see if that works.
if all else fails, i'll print out that microsoft support page and try that.
frikkin windows.

ok, now... the recovery console is asking "which windows installation would you like to log onto?" and it only lets you type one character.

well here's a good one...
after following Part One of the process on microsoft's support page.. it now gives me this:
ISASS.EXE - SYSTEM ERROR
WHEN TRYING TO UPDATE A PASSWORD, THE RETURN STATUS INDICATES THAT THE VALUE PROVIDED AS THE CURRENT PASSWORD IS NOT CORRECT.
then it just reboots itself over and over with the same message.
brilliant. i love technology.
i'm buying myself a MacBook for Xmukkah.

Do you have the windows installation cd ? If so boot from the cd, chose install windows (not try to repair with recovery console) When prompted later "Do you want windows to try fixing this installation" chose that option. It then will replace all windows files without messing without anything else.

What if something goes wrong with the MacBook? What will you do then? 
hope you solve the problem, I've had my share if windows problems. I doubt it was openoffice that caused it though, I've used openoffice for a while no problem.

You can find some good solutions here:
http://www.linux.org
and
http://www.apple.com
I use both and pretty much never have problems. Linux is very easy to install and use these days, too.
I have to use XP at work. My experiences are similar to yours; I bring in my PowerBook whenever there's a time-critical project that has to be done.

Macbooks will never go wrong!!!111ONEONE!!!
Eh. I doubt it will end up to be anything as bad as what can go wrong with Windows. A *nix-based OS helps a lot in that regard... Probably you'd just have to run DiskUtility and repair permissions - it seems to solve most problems.
