Nada. Im trying to avoid a reinstall, but I feel that we are running out of ideas. Any more thoughts on what could be the issue?

It is something deeply embeded that none of my tools are seeing or there is a corruption within your file system, and not necessarily a system file

We could initiall try a repair install - there are details on this page

If you have the CD it would be easier as you could fool the system into thinking it is an upgrade install
