I NUKED the sucker yesterday. It took me the better part of an hour to
remove all remnants of it since the uninstall was persnickity. I wanted
to get the system down to bare bones and I think I succeeded. FWIW, I
also had webex running on it which I can imagine would also cause
problems.

Sorry. What I meant to say was that I upgraded to SP3 after first
trying SP2 and it failed in both cases.
I don't know why it would matter but this is a virtual machine running
under VirtualBox. I guess it is barely possible that the VirtualBox
add-ons could cause a problem. Also, grasping at straws, I wonder if it
could be related to the ethernet card being used.
