Hi Meri:

This is a "sticky wicket."  My guess is that the
new installation is tripping over pieces of the
now-corrupted old installation.

If there's NOTHING you need to save (data files),
the cleanest way to fix it is to FORMAT
(completely erase) the hard drive with a BOOTDISK,
and do a CLEAN INSTALLATION of Windows from a FULL
installation disk (not an UPGRADE disk).  You will
also need installation disks for all the PROGRAMS
you want to reinstall.

If there's data (e-mails, documents, photos) on
the broken computer you need to save, then this
gets more complicated -- WAY MORE complicated. 

Sorry that I can't provide more encouraging news.

Jerry
