The issue that I am having is that when the PC is logged in, no services will respond. (ie.) Network, MSE, and any services I try to open they will freeze, but after 5 minutes these services start working and the computer works normally. I have scanned with MSE, Norton, removed all but the necessary startup items, checked the Registry for odd startup run items, and reinstalled drivers. System restore works but when restarted the problem is back. Any input that you may have will be helpful I have 2 PC’s doing the same thing; the only difference is the other PC only does it after installing Windows Live Family Security. I am thinking it may be an update attached with windows live.

Hi, We might need troubleshoot first. I suggested start Windows in Safe Mode with networking to identify if this issue is caused by network card drivers. If behavior doesn’t persist in safe mode, it indicates that a third party program or service is preventing you from performing the action as supposed to. To validate or determine which service/startup item could be causing this, restart the computer and boot to desktop normally. Once done, perform clean boot. Clean Boot prevents software conflicts by preventing the startup items and non Microsoft services from loading. This way you can safely follow the process of elimination to check which application is causing this behavior. Refer: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Note: Ensure that you put your computer back to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article given above.
