Did you save the downloaded ZA update ? If not, download and save it now.
IF Excel was present and functioning prior to these issues, suggest you roll the system back to the day you installed KB951748 using System Restore. The restore point created when the update was installed will be named 'Software Distribution Service 3.0'
After the system restore process and required reboot is done, see if Excel now appears and functions properly.
If it does, install the saved ZA update now; reboot
Download KB951748 from here and *save* it:
Security Update for Windows XP (KB951748)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ed989a33-7a9e-4423-93a8-b38907467cdf&DisplayLang=en
After the download finishes close all open browsers and programs.
Install WindowsXP-KB951748-x86-ENU.exe; reboot

I have ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite (paid version) and had this problem yesterday after I installed the Microsoft update. I uninstalled the update (and did not uninstall anything else), then downloaded the ZoneAlarm update. I have Internet access, but now my computer says Excel has been uninstalled and I'll need a disc to reinstall it (this is my husband's old laptop, I don't think we still have this.).
The Microsoft site that "automatically" searches for updates, found that I'd installed the KB951748 update, wouldn't give me an option to install it and now I can't figure out how to re-install it. ACK! I need Excel, where did it go and how can I get it back? Do I need to re-install the KB951748 update and, if so, how?

My best guess - given the enormous amount of information you have
given - is that you are utilizing Windows XP (of some flavor) and
also have chosen to disable the built-in firewall and use ZoneAlarm?
