If none of the other suggestions are helping I would try running tracing
both cases (e.g. using ProcMon) and comparing the two.
E.g. perhaps that way you can detect if there is a difference in permissions
that you could eliminate. Did you try using one of the spyware
checkers which were mentioned? Perhaps their changes would be a simple
way of achieving such changes? (I think that that is what both Frank and
Peter may be implying.)


Good luck
