Helen, I wouldn't rush to fdisk your HD. A re-install of all the same software will probably result in the same conflict, unless you resolve it.
There is a known conflict between UV PE and some communications software pkgs. Another user (in Texmug) had some Verizon (I think) software on his laptop to make his cell work as a modem - whatever the function of the software, it was binding the same port that UV wanted though it didn't show as bound, so no telnet connections could open to UV, only the shell. Go to ZDnet and download SystemExplorer. Run that and find out what all is running on your system. It's much more thorough than the Win Task manager. Disable everything but the essentials - SE will tell you who signed the driver or whatever so you'll be able to recognize if it's an addon or an OS essential. Then start UV by itself, check your telnet connection. If good, then start Skype or whatever else you think is maybe conflicting. If the issue arises then, you know you've got to reassign some ports.

I have checked and rechecked everything that you suggested and it still doesn't help my situation. Also Firefox cannot connect to the internet, and I also installed Opera just to check, which also cannot get a connection. At the moment I am seriously considering re-installing the whole computer and wiping the hard drive clean. Do you have any other suggestions that I can try to help me solve this problem? I have included my config.sys path for you if that would help you in any way.
