Hey Guys,
@NHH, do me a favor, save me from having to read the innumerable pages of this thread,

, have we had you do a thorough registry cleaning and a defrag during this nightmare?
If we have, then it very well may be time for you to do a clean install on your PC, lots of people do it as a regular part of their PC maintenance a couple of times a year.
If we have not, then it is definitely time that we did. I personally like RegSupremePro, because it is very thorough, to use it, download the program from my signature and install it. It will want to create a back up of your cache, let it. Click on the Registry Cleaning Tab, choose Aggressive. When it has finished, click on Select, and choose All. Click on Fix, and let it fix everything that it has found.
Then run the Defrag utility; Right click on My Computer, choose Manage, under Storage, click on Disk Defragmenter. Have it analyze, and then run the utility on all harddrives.
Looking forward to your reply,
TTFN
LGW
