I had to do a repair install of Windows XP when I changed the motherboard.
after the repair install I could not activate windows. I received this error at the start of the activation process.
"Microsoft Out of Box experience has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."


The problem was caused because the repair install downgraded Internet Explorer to IE6 I had to download and install the IE7 program.
After IE7 was installed the Activation could occur.
