Thanks Guys! You've all been a big help on this one. The final solution - save the data, wipe the drive and reformat, install fresh copy of Windows SP, re-install all program software. This is a major PITA, but seems the only completely reasonable and reliable way to go. Thanks to all who chimed in.
