Comment:
Executables (.exe) cannot be found when started from any source such as desktop, menues etc. Messages of type "rundll32.exe cannot be found.." (in this case trting to start Add/Remove programs in the control panel) are returned. Similarly even helpctr.exe and even setup.exe can't be found

I seem to remember a virus that does pretty much what you are explaining, have you run a virus scan, not that that would solve the missing dll's.
To solve the missing dll's, run SFC /SCANNOW from the Start menu (note the space) that will scan and repair all system files, have your Xp cd handy.........
