http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 - How to Ask a Question

In the meantime, general suggestions:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

If the computer is virus/malware-free, do clean-boot troubleshooting:

May also be hardware; i.e., the hard drive may be in PIO Mode. See MVP
