winxp.exe
Norton antivirus shows this file is infected with the beagle virus. Is it a system file? Can it be deleted? What do I do to clean it? Norton won't do it.

I'd say virus. I have a new laptop with a clean install of XP Pro and can find no file called xp.exe.
A quick search revealed this site which says it's a virus. Get rid of it. Check the sticky in the security forum here or follow the instructions on the site just linked. ...and welcome to Windrivers forums
