Go to the Start Menu, Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, .....System Restore
Basically, it sets up the computer as it was in a previous point in time.

Might have something thats fucked with your setup. I'm fairly sure most of what you said can be changed manually. I know for a fact the toolbar can be made to look old, as that is how mine is at the moment

Check System Properties in Control Panel. Look at System Restore tab., confirm System Restore is switched on.

the box that says turn off system restore on all drive is not ticked, also my laptop keeps making a weird loud buzzing noise when its moved into certain areas of my house! |

Im not using XP so im not sure this will work,but give it a go anyway,right click on you're task bar then properties/start menu then untick classic start menu and make sure you're start menu has a tick in it,if still no good then have a look at the customize button.

Have you tried pressing the F8 key repeatedly right after switching the laptop on and then selecting 'startup using last known good configuration settings' (or something like that)?
If not try that.
