Did you install XP on top of a previous operating system without doing an
official "upgrade"? If so, it's possible that you're seeing *previous* files
have permissions related to the old OS machine ID: I've seen this when I
reinstall my operating system and access D: drive files.
In any case, it may be helpful to find out just *which* files are being
denied: running the (free) Filemon application from SysInternals will let
you watch the system while it runs, showing each file that it tries to open.
You'll see "ACCESS DENIED", and you may be able to take ownership of the
file(s) in question if you know which ones they are.

Fantastic tool (but you have to be admin to run it!)
And if, when you're editing the permissions on the files, you see things
like S-1-5-21-1123561945-884357618-682003330-513 (either with an ACL or an
owner), it's leftover from a previous system.
