I have a Dell Studio and it suddenly just loads a little over halfway and stops. The blue load bar just sits there.
Sounds like you have a problem with the OS (Operating System Software) loading. Either your OS is corrupted or your computer is having a problem detecting your hard drive. You did not specify what model Studio you have. Here is a link to Dell products:

Did you sysprep the system?
You should only load the drivers that are needed to make the system run the basics. Don't worry about the network card unless you wish to install windows updates. I recommend just installing the OEM version of XP and modifying the registry to add drivers.
HKLM Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion "DevicePath"
Leave whatever is in there and add all the drivers to that folder. Make sure to include the motherboard drivers for the Dell laptop followed by all the other drivers. Some drivers will contain sub folders and you need to specify those as well spaced out by semi colons.
This should be all pasted in the devise path and it should look similar to this.
%SystemRoot%\inf;c:\dell_drivers\C400\Audio;c:\dell_drivers\C400\Video;c:\dell_drivers\C400\Video\XP_32; ect ect ect... if there sub folders in the drivers that are zipped, unzip them to the directories that you created on the root of C.
Once you have finished downloading all the drivers and modified the DevicePath registry key then download SysPrep from microsofts website and select Mini Setup and Shut down check boxes. Once the system shuts down then put the drive into the other laptop.
The system will be setup to install XP on the C400 with the drivers you included from the registry and the paths you pointed them to pole. On newer systems with Sata drives and other specific types of hardware like RAID you will need the hardware ID and adding that to the answer file for sysprep but that is way more complicated! For a DellC400 you will not need to do that.

oh yes ! it could have.
You should have observed that when you get a blue screen it says that some hardware or software change could have caused it. Thus when you installed the software there must have been some issues with the same. May be the company providing the s/w must have received similar complaints and the update could hav had files to prevent the blue screen.
The same happens with Microsoft as well. Some updates might cause blue screen which makes the system go crazy. Sometimes we might have to reinstall the OS as well.
Cheers !!! Your system is back to normal from the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) !!!

OUCH... Might need a new harddrive or motherboard. Does it even let you go into the bios? Maybe you can do a full reinstall to save you the dough.
