I had this problem. Have you run the Windows Experience Index? It wouldn't work for me until I did that.

I have the same issue ***Damn Vista*** I have run the Windows Experience Index and done multiple stop and restarts through DOS and doesn't seem to be helping at all. If anyone knows anything it would be greatly appreciated

Try going to: Control panel:  -  Administrative tools  then select services       When services opens  (sometimes takes a while)  Scroll down to desktop  window startup services  right click  And select Re-start  Hope this helps did for me !
