Dell Inspiron running Windows XP
Trying to get laptop running properly to donate to a community service that needs only internet access. Internet Explorer will not run. Multiple errors that I cannot find resolutions for:
- Cocreate Instance failed status is Ox80040154
- RunDLL
- Runtime error
- odhost.exe
- Error code Of00:136C
I ran all hardware tests and everything checked out. Removed all unused programs.
It's a lot to ask - any help appreciated!

First -- NO ONE should be using XP online for any purpose -- it's been over three years since that OS saw any security updates.
That said, it sounds like the problem is with the networking stack on the system - if you must use it, try reinstalling the network drivers.
That community service organization should be made to understand the potential liabilities of running an insecure OS online -- it isn't hard to imagine personal data being easily compromised if that system is used online.
