Have you considered making a slipstreamed install disc ?

Vista SP1 Slipstream Installation DVD

Hope it helps

I am running just Symantec Antivirus but I have tried having it disabled. I even tried installing SP1 in safe mode and no luck. As to the DVD slipstream. That idea probably will work but I want to reformat as a last resort. I want to know I have tried everything else before reformatting. Thanks for the ideas though.
