Decrypting XP files (have password)

Dell Latitude D600 with Win XP Pro SP3.

I had some issues so I did a repair install, and now I can't access the majority of my files. I get an access denied message. I think my files were encrypted and somehow Windows lost track of this.

Yes, I own the computer and the files. Since I did a repair install, the same users account exists with the same password, which I do know. Elcomsoft EFS recovery doesn't work.

How can I get my files back? I can't even copy them right now. Fortunately I'm on spring break, but I'll need this stuff for school soon! Thanks.
