A last quick thought before bed.... I do have various services disabled. When I built the machine I had a very keen eye on DuX's long thread about nLite and optimizations for XP, and based my nLited install loosely around that.
Are any service required for sfc? If so, please can someone let me know which ones and I'll check to make sure they are not stopped or disabled.
Again, I'm just stabbing about in the dark here but thought it's worth mentioning these things just in case they are relevant.
Thanks everyone.
