Default Windows won't open as result of virus/systemrestore

on a laptop w/ windows xp pro, i did system restore cuz i had a lot of viruses and i thought it's only bad if the viruses were there b4 the checkpoint-thing was made, but when i did it, no matter what mode of windows (safe mode/normal/...) it always goes "low on virtual memory..." and then it has the popup "drwatson postmortem debugger closed" (send or dont send), constantly, and nothing opens. when i try doing task manager, it has "task manager closed" (send or dont send). overall, i cant open anything. how can i fix this? (please explain)

Format and reinstall your operating system or do a repair install. In this case, I would just redo it.
