Windows update won't work and the latest release of windows live
messenger needs a legal install to work.
Photobucket and eBay should both function fine, likely Java has not been
installed or Flash. You can test for Java installed here
http://www.javatester.org/ and for Flash you can go here

What version of XP is installed on the laptop? I would bet it is XP Pro
for which you can buy the Pro license from MS directly, it's roughly
$40-50.00 more than XP Home.
