Greetings

I have mathematica 4.0, and I've just had to install in on my laptop because my desktop HD crashed. For some reason, the kernel crashes any time I try to do a calculation, even something like 2+2

I run the same OS on my laptop as on my desktop (XP), so I have no idea what the problem could be. Any thougths?

Does this happen with any other installed programs? Have you checked for any patches for mathematica?
 
Password problem?
 
... would suggest a clean install of the mathematica for starters and see if it repeats, unless it gives any identifiable error code or something can be found from logs, dumps etc?
