Hi Doofy,
I'm in Canada. My working hours vary depending on my availability.
In case you don't know already, all of us who participate in these
newsgroups, do so in their own free time as a community contribution.
Since you're having multiple issues with the current state of your OS...
Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions:
How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method:

Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from:

|||| Hi Doofy,
||||
|||| Since you can't install any other apps either, it sounds like you have a serious

|||| please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck!
||||
|||| 1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
|||| programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
|||| blockers using this utility:
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
|||| or this method:

||||
|||| You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
||||

||||
|||| 2. Run a virus scan at:
http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
|||| install MS AntiSpyware from:
www.microsoft.com/spyware to
|||| remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
||||
|||| 3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
|||| / Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
|||| the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
||||
|||| 4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
|||| Recommended:

|||| require a patch:
