David, I have to stress that playing with the registry can be very dangerous business. I would definitely caution against further registry edits unless directed to do so.

Before you begin these steps please TURN OFF Spybot TeaTimer as it can interfere with any fixes attempted.
To turn this off open the program, choose Advanced Mode. Then click Tools. Then click Resident and remove the check mark from TeaTimer.
Close the program and reboot the computer.

Now you had a previous thread begun here back in July
which you never returned to complete so I don't know if that problem was solved or not or if all of this may be related.

Please follow the steps given to you then from HERE
Then begin the clean up steps from the link given above.
Then post back into this thread with a new HJT log and the MBA-M log. I also ask that you copy/paste these logs directly into the thread and not attach them.
Judy
