Hi 
Okay, now I think that the only thing to do is to do a repair installation :sad:
Or if you want, a full reformat and a fresh installation. Let me know if you want to format and I'll give instructions.

I did the install/ repair. Seems to have worked except that when I try to run Windows updates they download but they fail to install. I have been able to install a few of them manually but there are 82 still to go.

Hi again, it is looking clean now
The Windows update problem, you're not alone. Here is a site that may help (also links for contacting MS support)
You can remove the tools we used.
You don't seem to have a third-party firewall installed. You must install one firewall.
It is possible that you're using the Windows XP firewall. That is of course better than nothing but I recommend that you install a more advanced firewall that gives more protection. Windows firewall doesn't eg protect your computer from inbound threats. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time. I'll give you a few alternatives if you want to install a third-party firewall:
These are good (free) firewalls:
