XP Pro - Explorer and IE Long Invoke after using Windows Movie Maker

I recently used "Windows Movie Maker" to transfer files from a DV camera to
my PC.
Since then, Explorer and IE take about 3 minutes to invoke; I get the
"searching" icon in Explorer and it appears it cannot determine my system
hardware configuration.

I shut the system down, and did a selective startup by disabling all startup
items and all non-Microsoft services - the problem remained.

I then did another selective startup also disabling all Microsoft services,
and Explorer works fine.

Points to a Microsoft service failure - any ideas how I'd resolve with
re-installing XP Pro (AGAIN !!!) ?

(XP Pro SP2)
