I've had to reinstall whole system several times

Sad story, however
You really should have a current upto date AV app and Firewall installed.
ZoneAlarm has a free version, blocks incoming + outgoing whereas default
Winxp firewall only stopps incoming.
All the major AV vendors have a free on line scan process.
You might also want to download, update and run both Adaware and SpyBot,
both free.
Crashing whilst only on the internet may indicate a modem or win connection
prob, assuming no trojan/virus.
I assume also that both win and office are patched, if so first try
the scannow command, see win help.
Test pc if still a problem,
Try; http://www.perfectdrivers.com/howto/msconfig.html
msconfig, an MS app.
In services tab, hide all MS, then untick the rest
In start up tab, untick all
Reboot sys
If problem cured its a process of illimination to find the problem
service/startup.
If still a problem try
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
read about it, then run yr office app via this to see if it indicates the
problem
Finally the MS support via email is actually quite helpfull, and doesnt
cost.
good hunting

I already had installed Symatic AV and then Ghost, before I first used the MS
Office SBE.
So I don't think this is a virus/trojan attack anymore.

I'll try your suggestions; perhaps during install I'm loading some driver
for my video card or MB that is causing this. I admit that I did install the
ASUS driver for the video card that came with the system; not an
approved/certified driver.

The other idea I've had is to use the other two remaining licenses I have
remaining from MS Office for Teachers and Students 2003 to change the mix a
little bit.
If that were to run under the Internet OK then I would have to conclude that
the problem is the SBE/activation.

Finally I'm thinking that I should really change the mix and install SUSI
Linux.

Thanks for your help.
As you can see by the reply dates this isn't my full time job!

A none certified driver, from a recognised manu. doesnt mean a whole lot,
