prowin32.exe won't terminate

I work for a small school district and we currently have a 3rd party software package that handles our student records. This software uses Progress as its engine.

I have a new windows xp machine that for some reason doesn't work very well inside the software. Here's the situation:

Beforehand, the user used windows xp to do her work just fine. She was able to enter into the area of work (student attendance) and delete a specific record. However, her hard drive crashed and upon replacing it and reinstalling progress on it, it crashes the entire program when she wants to delete a record as before. After it exits the program for her, it pops up another window titled "procedure editor". I have never seen that before. It also makes her system run extremely slow until I open task manager and kill the prowin32.exe process. Once that is done, the system works fine until she encounters the same exact problem. She has found a way to work around it, but as usual, she would like it to work like before.

Anyone have experience with problems with XP? What is needed?

Thank you,

There has obviousley been an error with replacing this drive.
The simple and tiedious task would be to UNINSTALL PSC (Progress and your Pro Win 32) correctly, assuming you are using M$ Windows. This will clear the registry CORRECTLEY of PSC/Prowin 32... Once that is sorted reboot a few times, this will make Windows stable and not detect any new software/hardware by solving the refreshing the registry. Then simply INSTALL PSC (Progress and your Pro Win 32) this will clean up your registry and solve the problems.
