Microsoft knows about this problem and they have told several of us to go to [control
panel] [add / remove programs] [add/remove windows components] and take out the networking
services (which BTW includes Plug and Play)
This worked but I was concerned that since I have a home network that I need these
services.. After reading all the posts here, I think the culprit is Plug and Play
and not the networking service..
To answer tje copncern about turning Plug and Play back on when installing new components,
The new hardware that you buy today is plug and play aware anyhow and doesn't need
windows to help so I wouldn't worry about adding new hardware with Windows Plug and
Play disabled.. It should find and install the compnent without any software help..
Besides, 90% of the time you need to use the manufacturers software to install the
hardware anyhow..
