Try this: Restart in Safe Mode with Networking. RIGHT-click on My
Computer and select Manage. Click Services and Applications, then
double-click Services. Make a note of the status of everything listed.
Then restart in normal mode and change the status of each item to
match, testing the connection after every change. Maybe this will help
you isolate the problem.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
