Are you using internet explorer? If so, what version?

Re-install IE.

If you have the actual windows XP install cd then try going to start, run, type "sfc /scannow" without the quotes and click ok. Make sure the cd is in the drive before clicking ok. Also make sure there is a space between the c and /.

Also if you have a usb flash drive and access to another computer try downloading IE 8 and install on the computer.

Sounds like you will have to back up any data and do a fresh install of windows on it.
