jmwills may be right that you need a clean install, but you might want to try a few things first, like reading Dr. Watson's messages which may tell you the problem.
You could run a windows system file check:
start>run
type in: sfc /scannow
(space between sfc and /)
click OK
Insert XP CD if sfc requests it and reboot when it's done.
If that doesn't solve the problem, you could run Repair/Reinstall of XP. It won't fix registry problems. Unlike a clean install, your personal files and software you installed will be ok, but you will have to reinstall all XP updates and hotfixes again. Always good to back up before doing a repair/reinstall and essential before doing a clean install.
If your system was shipped after July 14-2004, you should have PC Restore on the hard drive which resets the drive to exactly the way Dell shipped it. All personal files, software you installed and all Microsoft updates will be lost, so back up what you need first, and reinstall the updates afterwards.
