Question : Cannot connect to Windows Update on Dell laptop

I have a very frustrating situation on two different Dell computers. Both belong to different clients, and I'm not aware of anything new being installed. They both were having somewhat different symptoms, and I've eliminated most (but not all )issues on both of them, and one common symptom has emerged between the two. Both have internet access (including to most Microsoft web sites), but neither is able to connect to the Windows Update web site. I'm posting a question separately for each one in case there turns out to be different solutions for each.

This question concerns a Dell XPS 410 running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 w/SP3. This machine belongs to a client with teenagers, and it appears they have been using file sharing software such as LimeWire, Ares, and BearShare. Initially, it would start up with the following errors:

1) sttray.exe - Entry Point Not Found; The procedure entry point LocalizeString could not be located in the dynamic link library STLang.dll.

2) RUNDLL - Error loading vpjwv.dll; The specified module could nit be found

3) RUNDLL - Error loading hnhx.dio; The specified module could nit be found

4) Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has encountered a problem and needs to close - Error signature (szAppName: svchost.exe szAppVer: 5.1.2600.5512 szModName: unknown szModVer: 0.0.0.0 offset: 001a3bef)

5) Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service.

I've run AVG, Ad-Aware, Spybot, the Trend Micro free tools, and I've Googled everything I can think of. The first four issues appear to be resolved, but I wanted to include them in case it tipped any one off to a solution. Aside from not being able to connect to Windows Update, I still get the "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services" error occasionally.

Any suggestions are extremely appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Example of using CellTemplate/CellEditTemplate in DataGrid (w/ComboBox).

<UserControl x:Class="Silverlight.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"
    xmlns:src="clr-namespace:Silverlight"
    Width="400" Height="300">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <src:CityProvider x:Key="cityProvider"/>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <data:DataGrid x:Name="dataGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <data:DataGrid.Columns>
                <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Street Name" Binding="{Binding StreetName}"/>
                <data:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="City">
                    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding CityInfo.CityName}" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <ComboBox SelectedItem="{Binding CityInfo, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                      ItemsSource="{Binding CityList, Source={StaticResource cityProvider}}"
                                      DisplayMemberPath="CityName"
                                  />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
                </data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
                <data:DataGridTextColumn Header="Zip Code" Binding="{Binding ZipCode}"/>
            </data:DataGrid.Columns>
        </data:DataGrid>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>
