I need some help from you copmuter gurus out there.

I reformated my girlfriends Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop with a fresh copy of XP. Everything was ducky until I tried to activate it online. After the "activation screen" pops up, the whole computer locks up. I tried reformating again to no avail.

I also tried other programs to see if I could narrow down what the problem was, and IE also locks up, though not all the time.

Anyone have any ideas? Even places to look for more info would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
