SFC didn't pick up any files corrupted or missing etc, and I'm a little wary about removing my service pack just now. Not sure if this would be the problem as I haven't heard of other users having the same problem after installing the service pack. Any other clues?

Does the problem go away? If not, try using the system file checker to restore critical system files from your Windows XP CD-ROM. HTH.
