I spent 5 hours on the phone with Microsoft on this. For some reason, the WINSOCK2
key got completely corrupted in my registry. After replaing that by using the registry
from another PC, we were able to figure out that an additional *2* Networking Services
were causing the machine to lock up upong logon to the system. These services were
*RIP Listener* & *SSDP Discovery Service* -- once I disabled them, Windows worked
just fine!
Thanks for the replies, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
