all web pages work fine except for hotmail and Windows Update. I get a
blank screen for hotmail and windows update just gives me errors about
security. I am logged in as the administrator. it's a xp home system, sp1
installed for both IE and windows. I uninstalled IE and reinstalled, no go.
any ideas?

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first
link - for general advice, have a look at the second:

Hotmail is a secure site.
