By any chance are you using Norton? On some systems, not all, it can cause
those exact symptoms. I had to remove it from my neighbor's system and
installed AVG and Zone Alarm instead. It is a pain to remove all the
registry entries it leaves after uninstalling too. You must delete all
entries relating to Norton and Symantec.
