....I noticed lots of talk about malware being responsible for this effect,
so you might want to do full malware removal procedure !

Hi Joekid48,

I've been fighting a similiar issue for a week. Seems like I did many of the
same things as you. Checked PnP services, looked all through ENUM.... I was
working with Level 2 tech support. Not a lot of help/but very nice guy.
Uninstalled AV and SP3. Reinstalled SP3. Nothing worked. Grrr.

I tried a "registery" repair utility and that fixed it. I normally don't
care to mess with those, but was at wits end. The one I used was Glary
Registery Repair, free from CNET. Worked perfectly since running that.

Good luck,
MS
