Does it happen if you test in safe mode?

Try a system restore.

OK. Whenever something works in "safe mode" but not in "normal mode", you can be confident that the difference is down to additional componentry that loads during a normal boot. Hence, by selectively disabling a subset of those components and rebooting every time, you can usually find the culprit.

Run MSCONFIG and an applet should pop up that will allow you to perform a "selective startup".

Even better, get the Sysinternals "AUtoRuns" tool:
