Anyone else had this problem? I did a reinstall of windows xp except now I can't run the updates or activate the CD key.

Activation stalls at "checking for internet connection"

Windows update will scan but hangs and eventually times out after clicking review and install updates.

if you didn't reformat, you should do that and not just a reinstall.

that's probably your problem.
