Yeah that's what I was thinking, it often happens when MS Office 'goes wrong'. (sorry, but there's no technical way of describing it!
)
It's almost certainly down to an app somewhere that hasn't installed properly, often it's down to one or more components not getting registered correctly which makes windows think that the app has not completed it's installation process. This can be caused by a number of things, from something as simple as a corrupt installer file to some quite nasty malware that takes over control of registry permissions on a per-user or global basis.
To be honest though, this is one of those problems where I'd have to be actually in front of the computer to try and sort it out. What I would suggest though is to create a new user with administrator privilages and see if the same thing happens.
And if it does mainly happen with MS Office (word, exel etc.) you can try uninstalling it, creating the new user as above and reinstalling office under the new user.

I can't remember what you did either, but I don't think it was a full reinstall.
Try IEFix first:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm
If you can access some websites and not others it's often because the site's IP address is getting re-routed via the hosts file, IEFix resets the hosts file amongst other things.
Could also be a problem with your ISP's DNS servers in which case there's nothing you can do but wait for them to fix it.

Yeah, i agree with dude. It won't be anything to do with the bios battery that's for sure. If you don't have access to a new battery and compatible charger for testing purposes, then you've pretty much had it
Daft as it sounds though, have you put an AVO (electrical testing meter) on the two wires from the power switch to make sure that it's working? Highly unlikely but it wouldn't be the first time I've seen it
If it's still t*ts-up with a new battery and charger and the switch works alright then obviously we're looking at one very expired motherboard
