No. Defragmenting will not restore damaged data; it will merely re-arrange it on a drive to allow for better access and slightly increase the available free space.
Besides, you're describing an error that occurred in RAM, not on disk. This
could be indicative of a memory defect, but that's not too likely unless you're seeing this sort of error in many other programs as well. (Since they share the same RAM, after all.) Absent any physical damage, this sort of error is typically due to a bug or an incompatibility in software, not hardware.
As for Windows XP SP1 and SP2, just leave the service packs installed. You really shouldn't expose an XP RTM (i.e. no service pack) computer to the internet for any appreciable length of time, given the exploits that exist for old vulnerabilities. Look at it this way: if Autodesk products only worked on three-year-old versions of XP, nobody would use Autodesk products.
Also, don't bother with registry hacks or cleaners; unless the utility is written to account for a specific Inventor issue (and, realistically, it's probably not), it's very probably going to do nothing to help, and may well cause damage.
Which version of Inventor are you using? Have you installed the latest service pack for it?

contacting Autodesk.
