First, I would try to use the System Restore option in Windows XP. It would be good if you know when this problem started happening. Check if you have restore points prior to date when the problems started. If Yes, restore the system to a previous state when your system worked as it should.

If you don't have system restore enabled or you can't run the system restore because of any other reason then try to repair windows installation.

If you're not sure how to do that here are some cookbooks or step by step tutorials which can help you do this safely..

Nice tutorial with screenies

Those all involve a lot of extra work.

Try Dial-a-fix and simply check them all.

You can also click Tools (hammer icon) and choose to reinstall the Automatic Updates service and BITS, to get Windows Update working.
