Hi Steve,
Try this:
Open a run command and type in:
services.msc click [OK]
On the services control panel make sure these services started Automatically:
SSDP Start Auto
UPnPHost Strat Auto
Close the services and Reboot your machine does it solve your Issue.

To Enable the service UPnPHost on Windows XP, open a run command and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK]
Locate this Key:
System Key: [-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\upnphost
=
"Value Name: Start" Data Type: REG_DWORD Value Data: 3.

Note: That UPnpHost service depends on SSDP Discovery Service. Make sure
that the SSDP Discovery Service is start first.

Enter your BIOS setup, and take a look at your PCI settings. You may find
some indication there of some hardware failure. If the discovery service is
not starting, I would guess something in the PCI was failing. Laptops are
notoriously fragile.
