Really, though some of this may be the result of the infection, as I've already suggested you'll be in better hands trying to get your OS back in order if you talk to the folks in the Windows XP forum.

You said you had to reinstall several applications.

With some infections, it's better to backup any critical data, format and start again.

It seems as though you have OS and application corruption, and that is not really my area of expertise.
