If my memory serves, Cisco VPN can cause this issue also. Do you have Cisco
VPN client in your PC?

Thanks Bob.

I've tried it with a clean boot and I've made sure "IPsec Policy Agent"
and "IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules" services were running. As a
matter of fact, I did that before posting because of your earlier posts,
so thanks for getting me this far. :-)

I still only get success about every 10 reboots. Of course _something_
has to be different about those particular reboots but I can't figure
out what it is. I just reboot and try, reboot and try, and sometimes it
happens twice in a row, and sometimes it takes ten tries. (Which is a
pain when I need to log in to get some work done.)

Any other ideas greatly appreciated... maybe even any ideas about how
to tell what's different in the system from one reboot to the next.
(Aside from comparing event logs and a list of running services, which
I've done.)

Could the order in which services are started matter? (And if so, why
would it be wrong sometimes only on my machine but consistently right on
other machines?)

I have a fresh install of Windows 7, by the way, from the release code.
Just installed last week.

Myron
