I had the SAME problem which recently appeared just as you outline. I
resored my Windows XP to a version about 10 days earlier and now it
works just fine. As I look back, this problem appeared when Windows
updated automatically. At least this is what I think happened but am
not absolutely sure.
Try restoring to a version a week or so earler and see what happens.
Make sure that y ou create a restore point before you do this and then
you can always resore back to what you had.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
