If you didn't shut off updates before it came out, update XP to XP SP3 - Service Pack Three - first.

And once you do that, there are automatic backups of the system created periodically if you've left it turned on in the Control Panel.

Reverting is then done by calender date and one button push should the need ever arise. A great safety feature and another reason not to ever be afraid that some update might mess things up, you can just go back to the last System Setpoint using System Restore.
